The security assessment is a prerequisite of any property to be leased by our staff members. No contract or deposits of any kind shall be signed or paid prior to the completion of the Residential Security Measures. The security assessment will identify some reasonable security works that will need to be completed and installed prior to the lessee (UN staff member) moving in. Depending on the type of property, the security works will usually be in the form of window grills, fire alarms, fire extinguishers, panic button and additional locks for doors. We encourage landlords to undertake such works as these security items will remain in the property once the lease expires and the lessee vacates the premises. The costs for these works should not have any impact on the rental rate. Some residential security measures are reimbursable under the Residential Security Measures (RSM) which is regularly updated. Please check with DSS or your Agency’s respective Administrative focal points.
