When it comes to home security, most of the available options are meant for homeowners, not renters or those who are residing in a dorm room, apartment, or hotel. For example, a renter or someone staying in a hotel room for the weekend cannot install a security system or surveillance cameras.
No matter where you live, at some point in time it is possible that someone might try to break in. This possibility exists whether you live in a rural mansion or a tiny apartment on the fourteenth floor of an apartment building. While some areas do have higher crime rates than other areas, no area is immune to crime. Even though you don't own the space, there are several invaluable methods you can use to lessen the chance of someone breaking in.
First, keep your doors and windows locked at all times. This applies even if you are staying in a secure building with a doorman, and you live far from the ground floor. The truth is, there is no way for you to know who is in the building. What if you are attacked by a guest, or by someone who lives on your floor? It's always safest to keep your doors and windows shut and locked, no matter how safe you feel in the building.
Second, be aware of potential security threats. Know who to call in case of any emergency that might occur while you're in the apartment, dorm, or hotel room, from a break-in to a water leak. Even if you only plan to stay there a few weeks, you never know what could happen, and it's best to know how to deal with these issues before you're panicking.
No matter where you live, it's important to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Make a mental note of people who seem to be loitering outside the building. Never let anyone inside a secure building, even if they are fumbling around as if looking for their set of keys. If someone is knocking directly on your door, do not assume that they have a good reason to be doing so, and never let them into your personal space unless you are sure that they have a valid reason for coming inside.
Finally, protect the entrance to your dwelling, as well as your belongings, with a personal alarm. Many of these portable alarms can also function as door or window alarms, emitting a loud alarm to scare away anyone who attempts to enter without your knowledge. This is a great option when traveling; its very small size enables it to fit easily in your luggage, or even in your pocket, where you can use it to scare off would-be purse snatchers and others who might try to harm you on your travels. Personal alarms are a great choice for those who plan to move soon, since they are so easy to take with you when you go.
Living on your own in a dorm, apartment, or hotel can be scary for anyone, especially if you don't know anyone in the town and have just moved in. Even if your living space still feels unfamiliar to you, you can take the necessary steps to ensure that you'll be safe staying there.
