Know the Requirements for Safety

Learn whether your building and neighborhood are safe, and what you can expect your landlord to do about it if they aren't.

Get copies of any state or local laws that require safety devices such as deadbolts and window locks, check out the property's vulnerability to intrusion by a criminal, and learn whether criminal incidents have already occurred on the property or nearby.

If a crime is highly likely, your landlord may be obligated to take some steps to protect you.
