Managing vacant properties requires proactive measures to minimize the risk of vandalism and theft. Key strategies include installing security systems such as surveillance cameras and motion-sensor alarms, which act as deterrents for potential criminals. Regular property inspections are essential, not only to identify immediate concerns but also to maintain a visible presence that discourages wrongdoing. Additionally, ensuring the property is well-lit, particularly around entry points, can prevent dark, secluded areas where criminal activity might occur. Adding barriers like fencing or "No Trespassing" signs further strengthens the defense against vandalism. Consistency and vigilance are key to maintaining security.
