Crime Free Housing Programs By Landlordonline.com

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program and Crime Free Residential Housing Program are

crime prevention programs designed to reduce crime, drugs, and gangs on apartment properties and small rental properties.

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program was successfully developed at the Mesa Arizona Police Department in 1992 and has since been implemented in approximately 2000 cities in the United States.

The three phases in the program, Management Training, Property Inspection and Compliance, and Community Awareness Training, must be completed under the supervision of the local police department. Property managers can become individually certified after completing training in each phase and the property becomes certified upon successful completion of all three phases.

Fully certified properties have reported reductions in police calls for service as much as 70% over previous years. The critical element of the program is the correct implementation and use of the Crime Free Lease Addendum.

Benefits of the program include a more stable and satisfied tenant base, reduced police service calls, lower maintenance and repair costs, reduced exposure to civil liabilities, and improved personal safety for all tenants, landlords, and property managers.

Crime problems often migrate from apartment communities to condominium and single family home rentals. For organized crime, marijuana growers, methamphetamine labs, and gang activity, migration to private rental housing provides criminals with privacy, extra storage, and the absence of daily on-site property management.

The Crime Free Rental Housing Program was established for homeowners and property managers to work with law enforcement to combat criminal activities in small property rentals.

Homeowner training and property certification is similar to the Multi-Housing program requirements.
