How can I reduce the risk of a break-in while my property is vacant?

When properties are vacant, they are prime targets for theft. The most common crime is to break into a home, and steal the furnace and water heater.

Regularly attending to lawn care in the summer and seasonal maintenance in the winter, which Rentor does for all vacant properties, can help a property look occupied and thus reduce the risk of theft. We also regularly send team members to vacant properties for property showings and walkthroughs, but while the property is vacant, it's still vulnerable.

To protect your home, Rentor recommends the installation of the Armor Concepts Door Jamb. Armor Concepts are an alarm-free security option that prevent kick-ins and have a lifetime warranty. Once Armor Concepts are installed at a property, they don't have to be removed!

Pricing is dependent on the number of doors at the unit. (The prices below include installation.)

• $150: One door

• $250: Two doors

• $350: Three doors

• $450: Four doors

At your request, we will also leave a battery-powered radio in the property, so that the noise may deter someone from approaching the home.

Please note that installation of a theft-deterrent does not guarantee that there will not be a break-in during vacancy or tenancy. This particular system prevents kick-ins, but does not prevent someone from entering with keys or through a window. For other security options like Simplisafe, email us at support@Rentor.com.
