Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are my contents covered by insurance?

Hideaway only covers the buildings, not the contents of the units.  All personal property owned by the tenant would need to be covered by renters insurance, purchased by the tenant.  See "Renters Insurance" page for a list of providers

 

2.  Is the property secure?

Our property is secured by a chain link fence with barbed wire around the entire perimeter. It is monitored by recorded 24 hour security cameras. We have ballpark lighting for added security. The gate is electronically controlled by individual PIN numbers for each tenant. A code is needed for entry and exit, for added security. Anyone following renters in will not be able to exit without a code.

 

3.  What type of lock should I get?

We recommend you get a shrouded disc padlock for additional safety.  They cannot be removed by bolt cutters.  These can be found at:
