The property portion of the condominium insurance Florida condo owners purchase provides protection if personal property is stolen by a burglar. Although condos are generally considered to be fairly well secured from burglars it’s important to be vigilant about security, both for your individual condo unit and for your condo community.
To ensure the security of your own condo unit, make sure that the locks to your entrance door are changed before you move in, and have a wide-angle peephole installed in the door. 

Be cautious about allowing strangers into the condo building. Don’t buzz anyone into the building if you don’t know them, and don’t let them come in when you are entering or leaving the building. Never open the door to your unit without looking through the peephole, and ask for ID and call the employer if a visitor claims to be a service worker.

Poorly lit communal areas of a condo are a security hazard; tell your condo association’s maintenance people if lighting is inadequate or bulbs are burnt out. Notify your condo association if you are aware of strangers getting unauthorized access to the building so that the association can address the security breach. 

Talk to your agent or insurer if you install a burglar alarm system in your condo unit, as enhancing security may qualify you for discounts off condominium insurance. Florida condo associations tend to emphasize the security of condos, but don’t get complacent and compromise the security of your own condo unit or your condo community.
