New tenant wants to install an alarm system

[Matt Nolan]

Hello BP,

I have a new tenant moving in on the 15th, and they just contacted me asking if they could install an alarm/security system.  She mentioned ADT in our conversation.

I'm assuming this is for some sort of insurance break on her end, though I didn't pry.  The cost of installation would be covered entirely by the tenant.

Any experience with a tenant installing a security system?  Has anyone agreed to/declined a tentant security system?  Anything I should be aware of?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Go for it. They have wireless systems now. You should also check with your insurance company and get a reduction in your premium.

You are a big winner if they install at their own cost.
