• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.

• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review.
