Would CCTV be beneficial in your rental property? 5 benefits of installing a CCTV system for landlords

 

C:\Users\andi\Downloads\white-surveillance-cameras-786123.jpg

As a new landlord of a brand new house of multiple occupants, you want to run things differently to the landlords you had in your rental days.

While you might say yes to pets, yes to repaints and yes to your tenants planting in the garden, it is important to remember that, while this property is their home, it is a financial investment for you.

If you are new to being a landlord, you may be worried about ways to keep your investment in good condition; do you move into one of the spare flats to ensure nothing goes wrong? Or do you try a more practical, less invasive 21st century approach to being a landlord?

While setting up CCTV in communal areas and outside of your property may feel invasive, many landlords are doing it. You will, of course, need to hire a professional contractor, like MM Electrical in London, to set it up for you and to maintain it, but once in place, CCTV is a real lifesaver.

But are there any other benefits to setting up CCTV with a company like MM Electrical in London?

Crime deterrent

When it comes to preventing crime on your property, you can either purchase a pack of rottweilers and put up a tall chain-link fence, or you can set up CCTV.

Studies have found that even fake CCTV cameras act as crime deterrents, as they remind criminals of the presence of the law and act as a warning.

While you could just put up a fake camera and be done with it, there are more advantages to using a real CCTV system to monitor your property.

Monitors activities

In 2020, there are apps available on your phone that can link to your CCTV system from anywhere in the globe; now that’s handy!

When looking for a sophisticated CCTV system, ask for professional advice from a company like MM Electrical in London for the best cameras that you can monitor from your own home. This will also give your tenants peace of mind, knowing that they are being protected by their landlord.

Collect evidence

Has there been a dispute at your property between tenants? Has a crime been committed and you need to submit a claim to your insurers?

It is fairly obvious to see the benefit of a CCTV system; it is an impartial witness, which can help bring criminals to justice and help diffuse tensions between feuding tenants.

Decision making

Are your tenants complaining about the resident of flat 9?

Look through the CCTV footage and decide if this person’s behaviour is unacceptable towards the other tenants or the property, and warrants grounds for eviction. You will have CCTV to back you up, which will save a great deal of time and money later on.

Records

It is always wise to keep track of people coming and going from your property; it can help you spot intruders or other illegal activities which you, as the landlord, could be deemed responsible for.
