Amenity Rooms – How to keep them clear after hours - Redmark Security

Amenity rooms are a nice convenience for residents of apartment buildings. A little extra over and above merely a place to live. Something that makes life a little nicer for your tenants. If you are a property manager or a new residential apartment building manager, you more than likely have amenity rooms on your property. Maintaining a sense of control over; how these rooms are used is very important to keep these areas in the best possible condition. This also allows them to be ready for all tenants to be able to use when needed. Having uniformed security guards can assist in this process.

Now we will discuss ways to keep order in regards to the use of these rooms.

So, what kind of amenity rooms are the norm? Some of the more common ones include:

• Common lounge where people can gather – This can help form a sense of community in the building.

• Games room – Maybe with a pool table, ping pong table or a shuffle-board.

• Gym/ Fitness room – This is very popular amenity among many tenants.

• Theatre room – Some upscale residential buildings include a theatre room where people can gather and watch movies or sporting events.

• Meeting room – This is very attractive to tenants who work from home or need to meet with clients outside of their own office.

These amenities are all great extras for the tenants of the building, but if left unattended they could get run down and they can be abused in terms of time limitations on their use. How can this be mitigated? Here’s a few options:

• One of the best ways to keep things in order is to employ uniformed security guards to monitor and patrol these rooms. Security guards can inform tenants about the amenity room closure time, ten minutes prior to the actual closing time (which is 10 PM in most residential buildings) & remind them so they can get ready to finish & wrap up in a timely manner.

• Another way to help keep these rooms clear after hours is to have visible signs posted in the rooms to advise all of the opening and closing times. This is one way to make sure all are aware of the open and closing times for the said room.

• You can also include some of these rules as material terms in the lease agreements, so the tenants have a copy of these material rules and regulations at all times & they understand the importance of these terms. You can also issue them violation notices in case of any non-compliance, which can further lead to their eviction.

• In the case of theatre rooms or meeting rooms possibly a temporary fob could be signed out for use of these rooms and it could be programmed for the tenants who booked those rooms at a certain time.

All of these points will assist in keeping amenity rooms clear after hours and making for a clean peaceful environment for all tenants.
