• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
