Tips for Snowbirds
Snowbirds frequently travel to Fort Lauderdale for the summer season. After all, South Florida is nearly unrivaled when it comes to the sunshine and the beaches. For decades now, these snowbirds have rented Fort Lauderdale condominiums and homes to use as their vacation residences, but what happens when those condos or homes aren't being used? A little precautionary protection can go a long way.
A house sitter, or perhaps a friend or family that you don't mind giving the keys to can be a good way to make sure your home isn't empty and that problems are taken care of promptly. Fort Lauderdale condominiums are susceptible to risks like plumbing that suddenly decides to start leaking, an appliance that goes haywire, many things can happen out of the blue.
If there's no one you can trust with your keys, do your own part to make sure you lessen the probability of an unwanted loss. Make sure that before returning back home, curtains and/or blinds are closed to lessen the odds of curious eyeballs or worse a break-in. Since the summertime is also when hurricane season is in full swing, objects that aren't bolted to the ground should also be removed as they can become airborne projectiles should a major storm appear.
