• Remember to respect your neighbors. Residents will probably be as friendly to you as you are considerate of them. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking regulations can make a visit much more pleasurable.

• Make certain to protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental secured when you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

Checking Out

• Check to make sure you've packed all your things. Sweep every room in the home for forgotten possessions. Inspect bath rooms, the garage, kitchen cupboards, outdoor patios, the pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• When everything is out, begin a walk-through of the rental to make certain no property damage occurred in the course of your stay. If possible, do this walk-out assessment with the property owner present. If the property manager is not available, make certain to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your getaway? Most rental home management companies and rental home sites make it easy for renters to offer comments. If the rental home and/or property manager was top notch, they'll appreciate your compliments. If something went wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the rental wasn't as described, you may want to note that as part of your feedback.
