How much does an alarm cost for a apartment?




I’m curious about how much they charge per month. Also if you know the installation fee that would be nice. And if you know how long their contracts are. I called ADT and they refused to give me prices without sending someone over and I dont have an apartment yet, but I need to plan my monthly budget.
Thanks.
I do have permission to have the alarm in, the apartment is pre-wired for it.

a good alarm system for my apartment?




I’m a female who just moved in by herself in an apartment on the 1st floor. I hate to leave my apartment and go do things because I’m scared of break ins while I’m gone. I just noticed my bedroom screen is taken off and on the ground, so I guess that’s why I’m for adamant about getting one now. Any suggestion please!
correction: I’m so adament about getting one.

Okay, I accidentally left my digital alarm clock set for 7am at my apartment when I came home to my parents house for the weekend. I’m just wondering if anyone has any idea how long it’s going to bother the neighbours before it turns it self off.
It’s a Sony, if that makes any difference. thanks.

Filing a formal complaint with apartment.?




I live out in Dallas and what’s known as a "luxury" apartment complex. The only reason we moved in was because we had heard such great things about it and the price was worth the space. It started out with not being able to move in after we were given our keys because it was a roach house. Our white walls were specked with brown, crawling, scattering creatures. It was disgusting and impossible to kill and clean. I shouldn’t have had to sweep up dead roaches every morning before I left for work. This moved on to an ant infestation, followed by window leaks with moldy smells during that period of torrential, non stop rain (for anyone living in the Dallas area if you remember those really floody two weeks). We were then over run by bed bugs which they refused to take care of for two months because when we had first complained it was contained in one bedroom and they wouldn’t do anything unless it was all over the apartment so I was bitten to death and went to work swollen, red and looked like I had been abused by my boyfriend. After that, we were great for about a month thinking all our problems were solved. The next nightmare started with faulty wiring causing our electricity to trip every time we did something. Being nerds we’ve got our computers running at all hours but as normal humans, we also like to take showers, watch tv, cook, have the lights on and generally live a normal life. We were told that it was our fault the electricity kept going out because by cooking, having the tv and computer going with one of us taking a shower we were tripping the wires and causing our electricity to fail. I filed complaints for over a month with a rude maintenance man telling me it was their fault and the wiring was frayed and old, having never been changed. It took a new tenant moving into the building and having the same problem to get this fixed. (3 month period) We actually used flashlights and candles when we came home from work because we were too scared to turn on the electricity.

Things were better for a few months until last night. The fire alarms went off at 4 am and were not fixed till around 6 am. All the tenants walked through their apartments to see if any of us had left an appliance on and then were told it might be a chemical reaction in the building. The fire fighters had no idea what was wrong or how to turn the alarms off because the panel was inside a tool shed that was completely locked up. The maintenance man admitted to us last night that the panel to the fire alarm controls had to be changed months ago because they were old. That’s unacceptable to me. I don’t pay 1000$ to live in an apt with faulty wiring and bug infestations.

I tried to talk to the apartment manager but because of the amount of complaints she’s been getting from her tenants, now refuses to work on the weekends. The leasing consultants told us it had been fixed two hours after we went to bed. Sorry, but i don’t believe them. I’m not trying to be rude or bothersome but I think these are hazards that should be taken into consideration immediately.

Sorry for the long story but…is there any way I can file a complaint because I cannot get the manager to respond and the leasing consultants refuse to give any information about fixes or solutions.

Why? He has assaulted and humiliated her in public on one occasion. Screamed at her and pulled her hair because of a ridiculous arguement they got in to at the bar. He has a rough and irrational temper at times. He has gone off and attacked people when the situation was completely unwarranted. Also, he has attacked her in our own apartment on a couple of occasions. I personally heard her turn down his advances for sex. Apparently, he took it anyways. I had to hear her scream.
Here is the kicker, he has pulled the fire alarm in our complex so that he could get her out of the apartment. He spent the night in our garage and woke up and did so…thats a federal crime right?
So yesterday, she decides to go against my wishes and allows him to spend the night. He claims that a drunk driver drove threw his home and he is not allowed on the premises. I have searched and I have not seen any reports of the such.
At what point is one considered to be ‘overreacting’? What should I do?

I never thought I would ask that, but I have a stalker who has been watching me and who tried to get in my apartment last night. The police took ove 30 minutes to respond, he was gone and they weren’t able to do anything.

We’re buying a new home and had planned on staying in our rental for a few months while we make some renovations to the new house. However, our insurance company tells us that they won’t give us a homeowners policy unless our new home is our principal residence within one month of our closing date. Does this mean we have to tell our insurance company that our new home is our principal residence, even though it won’t be until approx. August?

Also, our insurance company will cancel our renters policy, since they’ll assume that we’ll no longer need it after we close on our house. This isn’t true, because we had wanted to stay in our current apartment for a few months more. Has anyone encountered a similiar situation, and if so, how did you handle it? Thanks so much.

I am interested in buying a camera to keep an eye on my apartment while I am gone but I don’t want people to be able to see inside my apartment by just owning a 2.4ghz receiver box. Is this how it works or is there some information I havn’t found that will protect my privacy?

I am disabled and live in an apartment complex and have found some things missing in my apartment when I return several hours later. I am looking for a system cheap because I am on limited funds. I need to record them coming in because some people don’t believe me. But I also need it so they don’t know that their being recorded because they could just walk off with the recording device.
