This home security survey template helps you plan information sessions and support for adult residents. Its seven optional questions ask who can make changes, which topics need explanation, and what gets in the way of taking a next step—without asking people to reveal how their homes are protected.

When to use this home security survey

Use the questionnaire before choosing a community workshop or resident information pack. Renters and owners may have different decision roles, so a single list of recommended purchases may miss what people need. SurveyLegend's example focuses on useful information and practical barriers, not on identifying weaknesses in individual homes.

What the answers help you decide

A resident may need to know whom to contact, how to understand a service, or how to discuss a change with a property manager. Those are different support tasks. Collect the need first and arrange an appropriate follow-up; this questionnaire cannot certify that a property is secure or replace an assessment by a qualified professional.

Seven questions for your home security survey

Answer about the home-security information or support you would find useful. Every question is optional. Do not include your address, access codes, device locations, routines, valuables or details of an incident. This survey is not monitored for urgent help.

Adapt the home security survey to your audience

Describe the educational purpose before the first question. Invite renters as well as owners, and avoid requesting a detailed protection inventory. Replace support options with services the organizer can actually offer or refer people to. Remove phrases that imply residents are careless or unsafe; review leading questions before sharing. Keep urgent assistance separate from this planning survey.

Printable home security survey

Offer the blank form at a housing meeting or community information desk. Provide a private collection box managed by the named reviewer; do not display completed forms. Paper responses require separate review and are not automatically included in online results.

Interpret your home security survey responses

Review information priorities alongside decision roles. Requests for permission guidance may call for a resident-manager information session rather than a product demonstration. Separate people who do not want information from those who have not decided. Use the barrier item to choose a useful explanation, not to label a household at risk. Read comments for additional themes using SurveyLegend's open-ended data guidance, and remove any inadvertently identifying details from shared summaries.

In their 2015 Stockholm study, da Costa and Ceccato reported that protection strategies “differ significantly according to tenancy type” (abstract). The household protection study informs the separate question about decision roles here. Its cross-sectional findings do not establish what causes protection choices or measure any respondent's current safety.

Frequently asked questions

Does this survey assess how secure a home is?

No. It identifies education and support needs. It does not inspect locks, alarms, cameras or building conditions and produces no security score.

Should residents list their devices or routines?

No. Those details are unnecessary for this information-planning task. Keep addresses, access arrangements, schedules and device locations out of the questions and comments.

Can renters use this questionnaire?

Yes. The decision-role item includes needing landlord or manager approval, helping organizers plan information suited to residents who cannot make changes alone.
