Home Security Guard


If you have a security guard in attendance at your apartment block you can use this to your own advantage. If you get to know them well there is a good chance they will keep an extra eye on your apartment and monitor the visitors to your apartment. It’s wise to tell the security guard to never let anyone into your apartment without your knowledge or permission.
It’s also good idea to let the security guard know when you are going on vacation and be suspicious of anybody who turns up wanting to get into your apartment.
Security Guard
If you don’t think the security guard is up to scratch and not looking out for the inhabitants of the apartment block then contact the landlord or security company and make a complaint. After all, it’s your building and you are paying for that security guard with your rent.
If you don’t have a security guard in your apartment block then consider petitioning your neighbors to get one employed. Even if it increases your rent, it will be worth it if or peace of mind and security. Primarily, security guards provide a invaluable visual deterrent as well as to deal with incidents if they occur. Your block will be far safer with one.
As well as a security guard to protect and look out for your apartment there is someone else right on your doorstep that may be able to help. Besides collecting your mail when you are on vacation, your neighbour can help keep an eye out for suspicious behaviour by strangers and unfamiliar people wandering around the block.
Get your neighbor them to alert the authorities if they suspect unscrupulous characters are in the building. If you are gone for a while then leave a key with your neighbour and ask them if they could periodically check on your apartment
Obviously, they will appreciate you offering to return the favour, thus keeping an eye on each others apartments.
The more you get to know people in the building the more they will be aware of who is coming and going and it will be easier to spot suspicious “visitors”. It’s good to make the effort to meet people and build a good rapport with your neighbors. Consider setting up your own neighborhood watch committee to look out for each other and to monitor the comings and goings into your apartment block.
