​Looking for a place to live is tough, and it is even hard to find an apartment wherein you will feel secure and safe. As a  renter, your security concerns are unique, and this guide offers you tips to consider when choosing an apartment. 
​Research Local Crime
Before you move into your apartment, you need to check the local crime data in the area. Make sure that you know any reported troubling activities in the vicinity before you commit. Talk to the local police, neighbors and your landlord to get an honest picture of what life will be like to your new place. 

Test Lighting and Observe the Apartment
Robbers and intruders tend to lurk around in poorly lit areas. Make sure that you check the lighting of the apartment, the hallways, and the entrance as well as the street and the parking area to make sure that they have adequate lighting. 

Check as well for any broken windows, cracked drywall, and water stains. It will indicate what kind of a landlord you will be dealing. If the landlord can’t take care of basic maintenance then most likely he is not that concern with general security. 

Get New Door Locks
Once you move in, make sure that you replace your locks. It will reduce the risk of any unwanted person being able to access your new place. Ask your landlord about having your locks replace with new ones. You will never know if old tenants still have the old keys to the apartment. 

Get Renters Insurance
Renters insurance can help you in protecting the value of your possessions in case they are stolen or destroyed by a disaster. Your proprietor may have an insurance policy, but it only covers the building that you live. You may not own many possessions but consider the cost of replacing them in the event of fire, theft or severe weather. 

Conclusion
When you are looking for a place to rent, security should be one of your priorities. You would want to live in an area where you feel safe, secure and comfortable. Make sure that you check and do your research before you move in. Also, subscribing to an insurance plan can help you in case of any unfortunate events that may take place. Keep safe!
