SECURITY GUIDELINES. In cooperation with the National Apartment Association, we would like to give you some important safety guidelines. We recommend that you follow these guidelines and use common sense in practicing safe conduct. Inform all other occupants in your dwelling, including any children you may have, about these guidelines a. Lock your doors and windows--even while you are inside. b. When answering the door, see who is there by looking through a window or peephole. If you do not know the person, first talk with him or her without opening the door. Do not open the door if you have any doubts. c. If children (who are old enough to take care of themselves) are left alone in your apartment, tell them to use the keyless deadbolt and refuse to let anyone inside while you are gone--regardless of whether the person is a stranger or an apartment maintenance or management employee. d. Do not put your name, address, or phone number on your key ring. e. If you are concerned because you have lost your key or because someone you distrust has a key, ask management to rekey the locks. You have a statutory right to have that done, as long as you pay for the rekeying. You may not lockout anyone who has a lawful right to occupy the apartment. f. Dial 911 for emergencies. If the 911 number does not operate in your area, keep phone numbers handy for the police, fire, and emergency medical services. If an emergency arises, call the appropriate governmental authorities first, and then call the management. g. Check your smoke detector monthly to make sure it is working properly and the batteries are still okay. h. Check your door locks, window latches, and other security devices regularly to be sure they are working properly. i. If your doors or windows are unsecure due to break-ins or malfunctioning locks or latched, stay with friends or neighbors until the problem is fixed. j. Immediately report to management—in writing dated and signed—any needed repairs of locks, latches, doors, windows, smoke detectors, and alarm systems. k. Immediately report to management—in writing, dated and signed—any malfunction of other safety devices outside your apartment, such as broken gate locks, burned-out lights in stairwells and parking lots, blocked passages, broken railings, etc. l. Close curtains, blinds, and window shades at night. m. Xxxx or engrave your driver's license number or other identification on valuable personal property. n. Lock your doors while you are gone. Lock any door handle lock, keyed deadbolt lock, sliding door pin lock, sliding door handle latch, and sliding door bar that you have. o. Leave a radio or TV playing softly while you are gone. p. Close and latch your windows while you are gone, particularly when you are on vacation. q. Tell your roommate or spouse where you are going and when you will be back. r. Do not walk alone at night. Do not allow your family to do so. s. Do not hide a key under the doormat or a nearby flowerpot. These are the first places a burglar will look. t. Do not give entry keys, codes or electronic gate cards to anyone. u. Use lamp timers when you go out in the evening or go away on vacation. They can be purchased at most hardware stores. v. Let the manager and your friends know if you will be gone for an extended time. Ask your neighbors to watch your apartment since the management cannot assume that responsibility. w. While on vacation, temporarily stop your newspaper and mail delivery, or have your mail and newspaper picked up daily by a friend. x. Carry your door key in your hand, whether it is daylight or dark, when walking to your entry door. You are more vulnerable when looking for your keys at the door a. Lock your car doors while driving. Lock your car doors and roll up the windows when leaving your car parked. b. Do not leave exposed items in your car, such as cassette tapes, wrapped packages, briefcases, or purses. c. Do not leave your keys in the car. d. Carry your key ring in your hand whenever you are walking to your car--whether it is daylight or dark and whether you are at home, school, work, or on vacation. e. Always park in a well-lighted area. If possible, try to park your car in an off-street parking area rather than on the street. f. Check the backseat before getting into your car. g. Be careful when stopping at gas stations or automatic-teller machines at night--or anytime when you suspect danger. No security system is failsafe. Even the best system cannot prevent crime. Always act as if security systems do not exist since they are subject to malfunction, tampering, and human error. We disclaim any express or implied warranties of security. The best safety measures are the ones you perform as a matter of common sense and habit.
