Heading out on vacation? 🏖️ Here’s how to prep your rental home/apartment to save money and keep it secure while you’re away!

Money-Saving Tips:

  • Unplug appliances (TVs, microwaves, chargers) to cut phantom energy costs.

  • Lower your thermostat to 55°F in winter or raise it to 80°F in summer to save on utilities.

  • Pause subscriptions (like streaming or delivery services) you won’t use.

  • Use LED timers for lights to mimic occupancy without wasting electricity.

Security Ideas:

  • Lock all windows and doors; double-check sliding doors and basement entries.

  • Ask a trusted neighbor or friend to check on your place or collect mail/packages.

  • Avoid posting vacation plans on social media until you’re back.

  • Use smart plugs or timers to turn lights on/off randomly for a lived-in look.

  • Notify your landlord or property manager about your absence for added oversight.

Pro Tip: Take photos of your rental’s condition before you leave to document its state. Safe travels!
