When its Time to Leave

• Be certain that you've packed everything. Examine drawers, bath cupboards and wardrobes.
• Be sure to walk through the rental home one last time and look for damages. We suggest walking through with the rental manager whenever feasible (this isn't always the case).. If the property owner is not available, you'll want to take photos of the property to record its condition.
