Laundry room theft and vandlism
I am reaching out to the community for some ideas on this one. One of our communities consists of 29 buildings located in an urbane setting. All 29 buildings are secured entry governed by a telephone entry system. That being said, it’s not all that difficult to tailgate someone into the buildings.
Our problem, the coin operated laundry machines are being vandalized and robbed about every other week. We have talk about cameras; they are too expensive. Card operated system: we are disposing the buildings and the current vendor and subsequent alternative providers don’t want to make the investment. Token system; apparently it’s fairly easy to duplicate the coins and it requires an upfront investment by the vendor.
My idea is to make the system free and pay a monthly maintenance contract fee. We would then work to raise rents over roughly $20 across the board on new leases and renewals. Not sure that will be 100% popular with our residents.
