One decision.
Every property.
Every person.
Every portfolio has that one property — the one where you know the staff faces more risk than anywhere else. That's where most operators start. In our independent survey, nearly half of affordable and subsidized housing staff reported a safety incident in the past 12 months. One button. Direct to 911. No call center.
Start with your most challenging property
Most operators start with the property where staff face the most risk. We'll ship a device there — no cost, no commitment.
Trusted by the leaders in multifamily management
And 150+ more property management companies across the United States
Simple. Reliable. Purpose-built
for property management.
No IT integration. Simple dashboard to manage contacts and view incident logs. No call center between your people and help.
Your leasing agent presses a single button on their PanicTap device — no unlock screen, no passcode, no app to navigate. Under duress, fine motor skills degrade. One button is the only option that works.
The call connects directly to emergency services with your property address pre-loaded. No call center. No monitoring service. No third party between your employee and help. The fastest possible path.
Simultaneously, other onsite staff are alerted so help arrives from two directions at once. Emergency services and a colleague — not one or the other. That redundancy is what makes the difference.
One safety standard. Every property in your portfolio.
Protecting one property is easy. Protecting a hundred — consistently, with the visibility leadership needs — is the real problem. That's what Apartment Guardian is built for.
Consistency across every site
The same protection and the same standard at property #1 and property #400 — no more site-by-site guesswork about who's covered.
One portfolio dashboard
Every activation and every incident log across all properties, in one place — the audit-ready visibility risk and leadership teams need.
Rollout without an IT project
No app, no integration, no technician. White-glove install across distributed portfolios — built to deploy, not to babysit.
One vendor, one system
Replace a patchwork of local solutions with a single safety infrastructure that spans your entire portfolio.
Multi-state compliance, handled
One system that keeps every property compliant as workplace-safety laws spread state by state — SB 553, WA HB 1524, and what's coming next.
Grows at your pace
Start with one property, add a region, then the whole portfolio — add or remove devices and properties anytime, no renegotiation.

Rolling out staff safety across 107 properties sounds like a quarter-long project. It took three weeks — and the operator's entire involvement was a single spreadsheet. We handled the rest.
You send a spreadsheet
A one-tab Excel list of your sites — your team's entire job. That's it.
Scoped & signed
We build a proposal for your exact portfolio; terms are agreed and signed.
Ships & arrives
Devices sent to every property, ready to use out of the box — nothing to configure, no app to provision.
Trained & fully live
Adaptive training sent and monitored; all 107 properties active on the dashboard.
Quarterly reports
Portfolio-wide status reports every quarter, so leadership always sees the program working.
Priced to scale with you.
Volume-dependent — the more properties you cover, the lower your per-device rate. Every portfolio starts with a free 30-day pilot, then scales at volume pricing.
Still a fraction of what a single safety incident can cost an operator.

What 400 property management
professionals told us
Apartment Guardian commissioned an independent third-party survey of 400 onsite multifamily property management professionals. Respondents were not told the survey was commissioned by a safety device company.
Operators who've made the call
95% of our clients renew every year. We're still serving clients from our very first year in business.
We have been using Apartment Guardian for a couple of years now and in all reality, you hope that no one ever has to use the device, but we actually had an instance where it was utilized and it worked as designed and local emergency personnel responded.
Personal safety is a top priority at JMG and these 911 devices are made available to the personnel in my portfolio for use when showing apartments and walking the property and vacant units.
Our staff is now equipped with Apartment Guardian! Thank you! I hope we never need it though.
Effective July 1, 2024. Requires a written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan and a Violent Incident Log. Our dashboard automatically logs every activation — satisfying the incident log requirement.
Requires employers of isolated employees to provide a panic button. Failing to provide one is classified as an unfair labor practice. If you have Washington properties, this applies to you.
Over 100 workplace violence bills have been introduced in 27 states. A federal standard is in development. Operators who build a compliant program now won't be scrambling when the next law drops.
Just ask us a question.
Requesting a device is a real commitment, even a free one. If you're earlier than that — still working out whether this fits your portfolio, what it would cost, or how it would land with your regional teams — ask us instead.
No quote, no pitch, no sequence of follow-up emails. We'll answer the question you actually asked, usually within one business day.

I've been CEO of Apartment Guardian for nearly six years, and I personally oversee every portfolio relationship we have. When a new operator reaches out, they hear from me — not a sales rep, not an automated sequence. If you have a question about how this works, whether it's the right fit for your portfolio, or you just want to talk through what you're seeing on your properties, send me an email. I read every one.
We've been protecting multifamily property management staff since 2012. Our 95% annual renewal rate isn't a marketing stat — it's what happens when operators find something that actually works for their people.
