Safe and Secure Apartment in Ft. Benning

Secure and Safe Ft. Benning Apartment

Safety is a primary consideration, when choosing an Ft. Benning apartment community. No amount amenities - of swimming pools and clubhouses and fancy appliances - are worthwhile if you don't feel secure in your own home. Landlords are paying more and more attention to safety issues, and there is much you can do to minimize your risk of becoming a victim.

When you're out visiting prospective Ft. Benning apartment communities, don't just pay attention to all the bells and whistles that community might offer. Make sure security matters are a part of your checklist.

Contact your local Ft. Benning law enforcement agency for crime statistics for the neighborhood you are considering. How many incidences of theft and violent crime have occurred there over the past year in Ft. Benning area? You can't always judge a neighborhood by its appearance, so get the hard numbers and make comparisons with other neighborhoods you are considering.

Take a walk around the grounds of a prospective community. Are shrubs next to buildings kept trimmed so as not to provide a hiding place for criminals? Be sure and visit at night as well as during daylight hours. Are all walkways, corridors and entries well lit? Are light bulbs missing or burned out? Are there mirrors at bends in corridors to prevent someone from waiting unseen? Are there surveillance cameras? Where and how many?

If your community has a gated entry, is that gate manned? During what hours? Is the gate kept secure when it is unmanned? Does the community employ security personnel? How many and during what hours? Are they continuously on-site, or do they patrol numerous communities? Are entries to common areas such as workout facilities or clubhouses secured?

In many areas, landlords are required to provide certain security measures, such as deadbolt locks, peepholes, window locks and safety glass. Ask the landlord if locks are re-keyed or replaced each time a tenant moves out. Do the units have intruder alarms? If so, are these alarms wired to the windows as well as the doors? Can windows be securely locked?

Once you have selected a Ft. Benning community that satisfies your safety requirements, you too can act to minimize your risks. Always lock your apartment door, even when you are at home. Be alert and aware of your surroundings whenever walking to or from your apartment. Do your part in ensuring that restricted entries are closed securely after you enter or exit, and don't "hold the door open" for strangers. Be a good neighbor in Ft. Benning area and pay attention to your community. Report any suspicious activity to your landlord immediately.

Most property owners are as concerned about safety and security as you, and working together, landlords and tenants can be a strong force in providing a home you can feel good about.
