FAQ
Common Renter Questions
Quick answers from our renter community.
Is SimpliSafe worth it for a renter?
Yes — it’s specifically designed for renters. No contract, no drilling, easy to move. The optional monitoring is month-to-month and very affordable.
What's the most important product for solo living?
The smart lock. Knowing your door auto-locks and you can check its status from anywhere gives enormous peace of mind when living alone.
Does the personal alarm actually work?
130dB is extremely loud — comparable to a jet engine nearby. Studies show loud alarms cause most attackers to flee immediately.
