Are you the landlord or the tenant in this 900 s.f. house ?


If you are the tenant you will need to discuss this addition with your
landlord and obtain permission as the installer/dealer is going to
need consent from the property owner to install the control box and
phone dialer for central monitoring...


This type of system has no dealer or installer. *It is plugged into the
phone nad there is an AC adapter for power. *I don't see where the homeowner
needs to give consent for anything.



If you are the landlord don't be cheap about this... *If you are
looking
to invest in your rental home and add an amenity then go through a
local alarm company dealer which will be around to service your
system in the future if something ever goes wrong with it...


Our alarm company charges $90 an hour for service. *This entire system sell
for $93. *Sure, it may not be quite as effective as a monitored system, but
a blasting siren solves most break-in problems.



Because you are attaching things to doors, door frames, windows and
window frames and adding a very loud noise making device for which
your landlord as the registered owner of the property becomes legally
responsible for after it is installed... If it keeps going off, the
landlord
and not the tenant is going to be cited for the noise issues...
Therefore
since it is their property and NOT the tenants they should have the
right to impose reasonable restrictions on what kind of system is
installed and who does the installing...

Renting is not owning, you do not have the "right" to do whatever
you want with a rental property as a tenant, your rights are
restricted by local laws and the terms of your rental/lease
agreement...
