Zillow posted a good article for investors and owners of rental properties with 5 simple steps that should be taken to protect a VACANT rental property – or any vacant home.
- Take down the “For Rent” signs – advertise online, do not use word “vacant”
- Keep up the yard – make the house look occupied, not abandoned
- Put the lights on a timer
- Use the blinds – downstairs closed and upstairs open
- Screen interested callers – protect address of the property and the vacant status
NOTE: It is also always wise to TURN OFF THE WATER in vacant homes to prevent flooding from burst water pipes.
