Flo-Mar Commitment to Safety
Ensuring the Safety of Our Tenants is One of Flo-Mar’s Highest Priorities.
Lighting - All outside areas are well-lit, including parking areas, porches, and entrances.
Secure Doors - All rental unit door locks are changed when the unit turns over. All common areas, (i.e. basement laundry / storage) require a key for entry. All exterior building doors lock automatically upon closing. Apartments have steel security doors and deadbolt locks. Most apartments have their own entrances.
External Vendors and Repair People - Any work executed by an external contractor is overseen by a Flo-Mar employee. These external contractors do not have direct access to Flo-Mar properties and must be admitted by a Flo-Mar employee.
Prospective Tenants - All prospective tenants touring apartments are accompanied by a Flo-Mar employee at all times.
Steps Tenants Can Take to Maintain Security:
-
Door / Window Locks - Keep all doors and windows locked as a default, but especially when not in the apartment.
-
Lighting - Keep a light on when not at home. We encourage tenants to have a light on a timer, especially if they will be away for an extended period of time. Report any issues with outside lighting immediately to the office or emergency number if after hours.
-
Extended Absences - If traveling, have mail and newspaper services suspended. Let your neighbors know so that they can keep an eye out for suspicious activity.
-
Report All Suspicious Activity to the Police Immediately at 911. Then call the Flo-Mar office.
-
Meet your Neighbors - Get to know who belongs in your house / building.
-
Do Not Give Strangers Access to Your Building - Do not hold the door for anyone that you do not know. Rather, have the tenant that the person is visiting come down to greet them personally.
