for renters\u00a0and owners alike. \u00a0You\u00a0may have to drill some holes depending on control panel given. \u00a0 Most of\u00a0the equipment sticks on to the doors and walls there is no need to make a mess. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Long contracts:<\/strong> \u00a0The average across the board is 36 months, with very few companies having smaller agreements than that. \u00a0But 60

now we do our best to help home owners and those looking to buy a home security system to stay far far away from Lifeshield. \u00a0It&#8217;s gone from a company who truly cares to one who truly cares
