How security can pay for itself

As a property manager you have to watch your bottom line every single day so it's understandable that you may be hesitant to add another expense to your monthly budget. Fortunately, in many cases adding a Roving Vehicle Security Patrol or a Dedicated Security Officer to your property may actually improve your bottom line. Let's take a look at the numbers.

According to the National Apartment Association 1 in 5 residents cite the reason for their move is due to a security related issue such as excessive noise, lack of parking enforcement and general feeling of being unsafe.

NAA indicates that on average, the cost to replace a tenant is $2,000. Here is the breakdown:

Maintenance & Repairs: $800

Marketing/Advertising: $200

Missed Rent for 1 Month: $1,000

The simple solution for avoiding tenant turnover is prevention. Security officers/roving patrols on your property can address issues such as noise complaints, address parking issues and provide your residents with peace of mind that they are safe living at your property.
