Keep Log of Door and Lock Repairs to Boost Safety, Reduce Liability

If a staff member or tenant reports that a door or lock at a building or unit entrance is broken, you may think you can wait until morning or even a few days to repair this condition. But that would be a mistake. Any delay leaves tenants at risk and increases the likelihood of your being held liable if a crime occurs. If an intruder breaks into a building or unit at your site and attacks a tenant, the tenant could blame you.
