Renters Rejoice: Secure Your Apartment Without Drilling Holes (or Breaking the Bank)
Living in an apartment or rented home comes with many perks, but securing your space can often feel like a challenge. Lease agreements frequently restrict drilling holes, traditional security systems are expensive and require long contracts, and what happens when your lease is up? You're often left with a system you can't take or one that costs a fortune to move.
But what if you could get robust, reliable home security that’s designed with renters in mind? What if it was easy to install without a single drill bit, completely portable, and genuinely affordable? Good news, renters: Kangaroo Home Security is here to change the game.
Why Traditional Security Just Doesn't Work for Renters
Let's face it, most old-school security systems are a renter's nightmare:
Drilling & Damage: They often require drilling holes for wiring and mounting, a big no-no in most rental agreements and a surefire way to lose your security deposit.
Long, Inflexible Contracts: Stuck in a 3-5 year contract when your lease is only for 12 months? That’s a costly mismatch.
High Costs: From equipment to mandatory professional installation and steep monthly fees, the financial burden is significant.
Moving Hassles: Taking a traditional system with you is often expensive and complicated, if even possible.
It's no wonder many renters feel stuck, wanting security but lacking practical options.

Kangaroo to the Rescue: Security That Understands Renters
Kangaroo was built on the idea that everyone deserves to feel safe, and that includes renters! Here’s how our system is tailor-made for your apartment or rental home:
Absolutely No Drilling, No Damage: This is a game-changer. Most Kangaroo sensors, like our popular Entry Sensors and Motion Sensors, use strong, reliable peel-and-stick adhesive. Installation is a breeze – just peel, stick, and connect to the app. Your walls (and your security deposit) remain intact.
Completely Portable & Easy to Move: When your lease is up, your Kangaroo system goes with you. Simply detach your sensors and devices and set them up in your new place just as easily. No fees, no fuss.
Seriously Affordable Security: We believe peace of mind shouldn't break the bank. Kangaroo offers low upfront costs for devices and, crucially, no mandatory long-term contracts. Choose a monitoring plan that fits your budget, including a fantastic free self-monitoring option.
Customizable for Any Space: Whether you're in a studio apartment or a multi-room rental house, you can build a Kangaroo system that fits. Start with a Starter Kit and add devices as needed.
Smart Control from Anywhere: Manage your entire system via the intuitive Kangaroo App. Arm/disarm, get instant alerts, and check in on your home from your smartphone, wherever you are.
Top Kangaroo Picks for Your Rental:
Entry Sensors: Essential for securing your front door, patio door, and any accessible windows. Get instant alerts if they're opened.
Motion Sensors: Place them in common areas or hallways to detect movement when your system is armed.
Video Doorbell Camera: (Like the one pictured above!) If your apartment setup allows, this is a fantastic tool to see who’s at your door, deter package thieves, and communicate with visitors, often installable with adhesive mounts or over-door brackets that require no drilling.
Indoor + Outdoor Cam: Perfect for keeping an eye on the inside of your apartment, checking on pets, or adding an extra layer of visual verification.

Smart Security Tips for Apartment Dwellers
While Kangaroo provides excellent tech-based security, here are a few extra tips for renters:
Secure Your Sliding Doors & Windows: Besides Entry Sensors, consider a security bar for sliding glass doors.
Get to Know Your Neighbors: A friendly neighborhood watch can be a great deterrent.
Always Lock Up: It sounds simple, but always lock your doors and windows, even for short trips.
Document Your Valuables: Keep a record and photos of valuable items. This is good practice for anyone and can be helpful for insurance purposes. Many resources, like Apartment Therapy's guide to apartment safety, offer similar practical advice.
Finally, Security That Moves With You (Without the Headache)
Stop compromising on your safety just because you rent. With Kangaroo, you can have a powerful, modern home security system that respects your lease, your budget, and your lifestyle. It’s security that’s truly on your terms.
