Whether your leasing the the family lake house or you have a diverse rental portfolio, you understand of how difficult it can be to protect a rental property in Ithaca. When empty, your residence might be appealing for a burglar or vandal. Additionally, if you are currently renting, you also have to try keeping your tenants secure.

Your tenants will rest easier if they feel secure against invaders, particularly if Ithaca is unknown to them. In the event a robber tries to break in, your advanced alarm system will alert your 24/7 ADT monitoring team while the easy-to-hear alarm alerts everyone inside. You also can have notifications sent to your smartphone if a connected security camera spots a potential burglar.
