• As soon as your things are all out, perform a walk-through of the rental to make sure no damage occurred in the course of your stay. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (this isn't always the case).. If the property manager is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have an enjoyable time? Nearly all rental home websites ask for testimonials after your stay . Rental owners and property managers will thank you for favorable ratings. If anything went wrong, we recommend being understanding but genuine with regards to experience. Top owners and managers will work very hard to fix the issue.
