Keeping Your Vacation Rental Safe When It’s Not Occupied

While you’re enjoying renting out your vacation home, don’t forget a major responsibility.

Keeping it safe when you or anyone else can’t physically be there.

Follow these tips to learn how to do so.

  1. Keep fire alarms in working order (and know when the batteries need replacement).
  2. Take care of the plumbing (especially prevent frozen pipes).
  3. Give your vacation home a ‘occupied’ look even when it’s empty (keep up the maintenance).
  4. Make sure your home is ready for varying weather patterns (install storm-ready garage doors).
  5. Use smart home technology like setting up security cameras without invading guest’s privacy.
  6. Your front door should be always secure. Invest in a smart lock and wireless video doorbell.  
  7. Don’t advertise too much online that your home is empty. Some burglars use social media statuses to target victims.

We’ve saved the BEST tip for the last.
