Therefore, some people may be concerned about security when living with strangers.

In this article, we will explain the safety of share houses.
We will also introduce security equipment that you can feel safe having, so if you are hesitant about moving in because you are worried about security, please read until the end.

Share house safety

From here, we will explain the security of a share house by dividing it into the inside and outside of the building.

Inside the building

When thinking about the safety of a shared house, many people first worry about whether or not there are any troubles between tenants.
However, in order to ensure the safety of residents in shared houses, we always conduct a screening before moving in, so there is no need to worry that much.
In addition, some co-ed share houses are designed to ensure that you can spend your time without trouble, such as sometimes having a shower room for women only.

However, it is also true that theft between tenants occurs very rarely.
Therefore, when choosing a share house, we recommend choosing a property that has a safe to store your valuables and a private room that can be locked.

outside the building

Shared houses are generally considered less susceptible to burglary and stalking than those living alone.
This is because by having multiple tenants, there are fewer chances for a home to become a target for burglars or stalkers, or for the home to be empty or alone.

Another attractive feature of a shared house is that you can live in a property that is fully equipped with security equipment and at a lower price than regular rentals.
In general rental properties, properties with security equipment tend to be of higher grade and have higher rents, but by lowering the rent in a shared house, it becomes easier to live in such properties.

Therefore, as long as you are careful about trouble between tenants, a shared house is a recommended form of living for people who are concerned about security.

Security equipment and services to keep your share house safe

As mentioned above, one of the attractions of a share house is that you can live in a property with good security equipment at a low price.
From here, we will introduce typical security equipment and services found in share houses.

Of course, not all share house companies are equipped with these facilities, so if you are concerned about safety, please check with the management company in advance to see what kind of security facilities they have.

Private room with key

Bedrooms in shared houses include dormitories and semi-private rooms.
If you live in a shared room, your personal belongings will be kept in the same room as other residents, so there is a possibility that theft may occur, although it is rare.

Therefore, if you want to spend your time in a more private environment, choose a share house that has a private room with a lock.
If your private room has a number-type or dial-type key, you won't have to worry about losing your key, so you can feel more secure.

auto lock

Shared houses with automatic locks are highly effective in preventing crime, as only the tenant or someone approved by the tenant can enter.

Rental properties with automatic locks tend to have high rents, but if you live in a shared house, you can live at a relatively low price.

Intercom with monitor

If your property is equipped with a monitor intercom, you will be able to see visitors and prevent situations such as accidentally opening the front door to a suspicious person.

Additionally, the presence of a camera attached to a monitor intercom may serve as a deterrent to suspicious persons.

surveillance camera

Security cameras are also an important piece of equipment to increase the safety of your share house.
Just like an intercom with a monitor, the presence of a camera itself has the effect of preventing intruders from entering.

There are two types of security camera footage: one that can only be viewed by the management company, and one that can be viewed by tenants in real time.

home security services

A home security service is a service that automatically reports to a home security company when a sensor or camera detects an abnormality, and a staff member rushes to the home.
With this service, you can prevent intruders from entering your home, and if there is an intrusion, you can take immediate action.

Home security services also tend to be provided only in high-grade properties with high rents, so living in a shared house is more economical.

Staff patrol

Shared houses don't often have managers on-site like regular rentals.
However, the staff of the share house management company may periodically inspect the property.

The availability and frequency of patrols vary depending on the share house, so it's a good idea to check in advance.

Two reasons why women-only share houses are so safe

Some share houses are limited to women as tenants.
Women-only share houses are especially focused on security measures, so if you are concerned about safety, why not consider this as an option?

Below, we will explain two reasons why women-only share houses are highly safe.

Reason 1: Security equipment is well equipped

Because all the residents in women-only share houses are women, they have more security equipment than co-ed share houses.

For example, some properties are fully equipped with the monitor intercoms and home security services introduced above.

Reason 2: Men are prohibited from entering.

It depends on the property, but men are not allowed in many women-only share houses.
By not allowing men to enter, it is possible to prevent intruders from entering the space, and it is possible to maintain a sense of security in a women-only space at all times.

However, we do not recommend inviting male friends or lovers to your home, as it is prohibited to invite male friends, even if they are acquaintances of the tenant.
Also, share houses have strict rules and do not allow even male relatives into the building, so those who plan to invite family members to the room should also be careful.

Three points on how to choose a share house

In order to choose a share house with a higher level of safety, keep in mind the following three points.

Points to consider when choosing a share house

• Location


• Share house management company response


• Facility

When choosing a share house, it is important to check the location.
It's not only a convenient location for commuting to work or school, but if you're concerned about safety, make sure there are street lights on your way home and that the road won't get too dark at night.
In addition, it would be better to investigate the security situation in the surrounding area.

In addition, in shared houses, if there is an emergency between the tenants, staff from the management company may intervene.
Therefore, it is also important to check whether the staff of the share house management company will respond appropriately in the event of an emergency.

When it comes to equipment, make sure that it is equipped with everyday items such as washing machines and air conditioners, as well as crime prevention equipment such as security cameras and intercoms with monitors.

Living in a shared house is safer than living alone, but you need to be careful about theft.

What did you think.

Share houses are designed to prevent problems between residents through tenant screening and house rules.
Another characteristic of shared housing is that because you live with multiple tenants, you are less likely to be the victim of burglary or stalking than if you were living alone.

In addition, even if the property is equipped with security equipment, which tends to be expensive in regular rentals, it is possible to lower the rent in a shared house.
For the above reasons, it can be said that a shared house is safer than living alone in a regular rental house.
