Alarm system for rented apartments without drilling – a secure solution for tenants

Many tenants want to reliably protect their apartment against break-ins, but they quickly run into a common problem: drilling is often not allowed in rental properties, or only permitted with approval. This is where a no-drill alarm system for rental apartments becomes essential. These systems can be installed flexibly, removed again, and leave no traces – perfect for tenants who want security and independence.

Why a no-drill alarm system is important

Traditional wired systems are usually not an option in rental apartments, as they require permanent installation and wiring. Modern wireless alarm systems offer the advantage of working without cables, without drilling, and without structural modifications. Door and window sensors can be mounted using adhesive pads and easily taken along when moving out.

AJAX and Jablotron – good systems, but not ideal for tenants

AJAX Alarm System
The AJAX alarm system is visually modern and technically reliable. It offers app control and dependable wireless technology. However, there are clear limitations for rental apartments:

  • Sensors are generally not designed for adhesive mounting and need to be screwed in place.

  • The system is heavily cloud-dependent – purely local use is hardly possible.

Jablotron Alarm System
Jablotron is also a renowned brand known for high-quality alarm systems, especially for professional installations. For rental apartments, though, they are only partially suitable because:

  • Sensors must be firmly screwed in, which requires drilling.

  • Jablotron also relies on cloud integration.

Both systems are powerful, but not the best choice for a no-drill rental solution.

Lupus Alarm System – the perfect solution for rental apartments

The Lupus alarm system offers exactly what tenants need: maximum security without drilling and without mandatory cloud use.

Advantages of Lupus:

  • No cloud required – full independence, all data stays inside the apartment

  • No ongoing costs or subscription fees

  • Easy no-drill installation: included adhesive pads allow door and window sensors to be mounted securely

  • Residue-free removal – ideal for rental properties

  • Wide range of sensors (motion detectors, smoke and water detectors, cameras)

  • Simple operation via app or web interface, also controllable locally

  • German manufacturer with high data protection and security standards

Thanks to the included adhesive pads, installation in rental apartments is particularly simple. Once mounted, the sensors hold securely – and can be removed just as easily when moving out. This keeps the apartment untouched, and the alarm system moves with you.

Conclusion

For tenants who want to secure their home without drilling, the choice is clear:

  • AJAX offers modern technology but relies on the cloud and does not support adhesive installation.

  • Jablotron delivers professional-grade quality but also requires drilling and depends on cloud services.

  • Lupus is the only system truly tailored to tenant needs: adhesive pads included, no cloud, no ongoing fees, full flexibility.

So, if you are looking for a no-drill alarm system for a rental apartment, the Lupus alarm system is by far the best solution – secure, flexible, and completely independent.
