From the supplier: One of the growing areas of tort liability that real estate companies are increasingly faced with is inadequate security claims. Such claims arise when the failure of property managers to ensure the safety of their premises results in one individual being victimized by the criminal act of another. Premises security involves more than having uniformed guards to patrol the facility or screen visitors. An effective security program should also include such activities as informing tenants and residents of crime trends, controlling master keys, repairing broken locks and taking other pro-active crime prevention measures. To minimize the chances of getting sued, property owners and managers should pay close attention to the administrative, interior security and external security factors affecting premises security.
