Owner and/or Management does not promise, warrant, or guarantee the safety or security of resident or his/her personal property against the criminal or negligent actions of other residents or third parties. Crime can and does occur at apartment communities. Each resident has the responsibility to protect himself/herself and to maintain appropriate insurance to protect his/her belongings including items within or on the premises and vehicles from criminal acts, negligent acts, fire, windstorm, hurricanes, plumbing leaks, smoke or any acts of God. Residents should contact an insurance agent to arrange appropriate insurance for their vehicle, personal property insurance and liability insurance.

No security system, controlled access gate, fence, gate, door, window, courtesy patrol or electronic security device if provided can guarantee complete protection against crime. Even elaborate security systems are subject to mechanical malfunction, tampering, human error or personnel absenteeism, and can be defeated or avoided by clever criminals. Controlled access gates frequently are non operational as they are often damaged by vehicles, therefore, residents should always proceed on the assumption that they do not exist. Windows can be broken, locks can be defeated, and fences can be climbed or damaged to allow access. The best safety measures are those precautions that can be performed as a matter of common sense and habit.

If security systems, security devices, controlled access gate(s) or walk-through services are employed at this community, no representation is being made that they will be effective to prevent injury, theft or vandalism. Such personnel, if provided, cannot physically be every place at every moment. Usually, such personnel are unarmed independent contractors and have no greater authority under the law to restrain or arrest criminals than the ordinary citizen. Therefore, Management does not warrant that any services, devices or persons if employed at this community will discourage or prevent breaches of security, intrusions, thefts or incidents of violent crime. Further, Management reserves the right to reduce, modify or eliminate any system, devices or services (other than those statutorily required) at any time. Resident agrees that such action shall not be a breach of any obligation or warranty on the part of Management. Management may at time place real or dummy video or surveillance cameras throughout the apartment community but Management makes no representations that these cameras are working, recording or even operational.

Resident agrees to notify Management promptly and in writing of any problem, defect, malfunction or failure of door locks, window latches, lights, controlled access gates, and any other access related device.
