The condo market in Calgary continues to outperform the rest of the country, and whether your new to condo living or a seasoned apartment dweller, safety is always important. Here are our top 10 condo safety tips:
- Unless you are moving into a brand new condo, you should get your locks changed upon moving in
- All exterior doors should be equipped with a deadbolt (don’t rely on chain locks)
- Ensure your exterior doors come with a peephole, if not, install one
- Ensure all windows are equipped with locks
- Never include your full name in buzzer directory or on mailboxes
- Never buzz in people you do not know to your building
- Keep your car locked in carport areas
- Ensure there is proper lighting in carport areas
- If you have a shared laundry room, avoid using it alone
- Ensure you are well-informed of your condo’s security measures (surveillance, hired staff, etc) – communicate with your Condo Association on appropriate measures as well
