Always make sure all doors and windows are locked when you leave your one-bedroom apartment and before going to bed. Speak to our leading office about upgrading your locks for added security, particularly if you moved into a previously occupied unit. Don’t forget to secure sliding doors as well, which can leave you vulnerable.
As always, never open the door to strangers without verifying their identity first via the peephole. If someone claims to be a maintenance worker or a delivery person, verify this with the leasing office to confirm before granting access. Remember to inform your roommates if anyone is expected to visit to avoid confusion.
Window security is just as important as door locks when living in an apartment community. Use window locks, particularly if you live on the ground floor, and keep your blinds or curtains drawn to protect your privacy and deter potential intruders. Be mindful of leaving your windows open as well, especially to keep your pets safe inside.
Establish an emergency plan just in case, including escape routes and a designated meeting spot outside. Make sure your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning and have an emergency kit ready with essentials, including pet supplies. Review and practice your emergency procedures regularly to be prepared for the worst.
Prioritizing safety is key to enjoying the independence of apartment living! Make the most of your time with The Flats on 14th and contact us to learn more about our one-bedroom apartments and multi-bedroom playouts.
