What are the security risks of renting a house in an old community?

Rental houses in old communities are friendly to some people with low incomes, but the existing security risks can not be ignored. Especially if some security risks affect the safety of residents, we must pay attention to avoid them as much as possible.

Let's take a look at the usual security risks of renting a house in an old community:

First of all, the most common safety hazards should be aging lines and blocked pipelines.

Take my own family as an example. Our family bought an old community next to the school district, opened an account for the children and rented the house to two office workers. Generally speaking, although the various electrical facilities of the house have been determined before renting, they will still call from time to time after moving in, either the pipes are blocked or the toilets are blocked.

In fact, the pipes in the old community are all old pipes, and no one has dredged them for a long time. Once there is hair or other things blocking the pipeline, you have to ask someone to clean the sewer, which is also a temporary solution.

In addition, when the temperature is very low in winter, it is common for water pipes to freeze and crack Once you don't pay attention to protecting the pipeline, you can wait for yourself.

Although I haven't encountered the problem of aging lines in this house, I will also see reports on the news that fires caused by aging lines will cause casualties in the house.

Second, the second is fire safety, especially the littering of domestic garbage in the corridor and the lack of fire control facilities.

Take this old house in my own house as an example. It was built in the eighties and nineties of last century, and at first glance it looks weather-beaten. This building is basically full of elderly people. Usually, some cartons, plastics and the like are reluctant to throw away, so they will be placed at the corner of the corridor.

In fact, this kind of thing is flammable. If someone accidentally throws a cigarette butt and there is no fire control facility in the corridor, it is likely to cause a fire in the house. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to this kind of fire safety problem, but now even in the old community, there will be grid workers to strengthen management, and things in the corridor will be cleaned regularly, and the safety risk will be reduced.

Thirdly, the last one is the safety of residential environment, especially some single women living alone.

Generally, the old community has neither property nor security. Although the property fee is saved, there is no security guarantee in this community. Anyone can go in and out at will, and once a bad guy follows, he may not know it.

Moreover, the lights in the corridor of the community may be flickering, or they may not be lit at all, so the safety of this piece should also be guarded against.

So how to control these security risks when renting such an old community? Don't worry, I think it's enough to pay attention to the following points ~

1. Regularly check and repair all kinds of electrical appliances and circuits at home. Don't overload high-power appliances such as air conditioners. Cut off the power supply before going to bed and going out, and especially remind you to replace the electrical appliances that have been in extended service.

Second, clean up the garbage and sundries at home in time. Don't pile up sundries on the balcony and corridor at home, which may be a fire source and an obstacle to evacuation and escape.

Third, try to travel with the small partners who live together, avoid going home alone in the middle of the night, and contact the landlord as soon as possible if the facilities such as door locks are damaged.

The above is my sharing, I hope I can help you.
