Safety and Security

摘要

This month, MHN teamed up with research and consulting services firm Kingsley Associates-which surveys over 1 million residents each year-to gauge renters' opinions of their apartment's security features. From working gates to onsite security guards, amenities that relate to safety can have a tremendous impact on how residents view their communities, and subsequently, on how likely they are to renew their leases. While a bad experience pertaining to any other element of housing might be assuaged with certain corrective actions, a bad experience with safety and security can leave an indelible mark on a resident's or visi- tor's impression of a community. If a person feels they or their belongings are at risk, they are unlikely to view a given community as home. Thus, safety and security should be of utmost importance to property managers, and constant updates of the respective technology should go a long way toward giving renters the peace of mind they seek and deserve.
