Landlord to pay for security system?

We have a pretty needy tennant in San Francisco. He moved in during Covid and has experienced a few problems, his girlfriends cell phone was stolen while walking on the street, as well as smashed garage windows multiple times and someone recently tried to jimmy the side door. Nothing has been stolen and we've quickly remedied the situation every time but he's hinting at us paying for a security system. He's also talking about money problems and asking about options. This could be a ploy to bolster his agenda to move out or lower the rent.

His email this morning said that he feels "fundamentally unsafe".

Question: should we be obligated to pay for a security system for him?
