MD Security Guidelines

MENARA DUTA CONDOMINIUM HOUSE RULES

APPENDIX 1: SECURITY GUIDELINES

Condo security is not just the responsibility of the management corporation. Residents must also do their part to help keep the building and their units safe from intruders. There are basically two main lines of defence: Line 1 and Line 2. While the condominium management corporation is responsible for the security of all common areas — including exterior gates/doors and windows and corridor doors to individual apartments (Line 1), the security of each unit is typically each resident’s own responsibility (Line 2). To be successful in preventing and deterring crimes, both lines of defence must be in place; support from and cooperation between the residents, the condo management corporation and the local law enforcement agency are of utmost importance.
