• Make a point to walk through the rental home one final time and check for damages. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make certain you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a good time? Most rental property web sites request comments after your stay . Rental owners and property managers will appreciate your glowing recommendations.
