• Make sure to walk through the rental home one final time and check for damages. If you can, do this walk-out assessment with the property manager present. If the property manager is not available, make sure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your trip? Many rental management companies and rental search sites permit customers to provide feedback.
