At the end of your stay

• Make sure you've packed all of your things. Sweep all the rooms in the home for forgotten possessions. Inspect bathrooms, the garage, cabinets, outdoor patios, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• Once your things are all out, do a walk-through of the property to make certain no damage occurred in the course of your stay. Whenever possible, do this walk-out review with the property manager present. If the property owner is not available, make sure to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How would you feel about your stay? Many property management companies and rental home sites permit renters to provide feedback.
