Questions to resolve

  • Who can access the home if an alert or neighbor call comes in?
  • Which tasks must happen before departure, after storms, and before return?
  • What documentation proves the home was monitored and maintained?

Records to keep

For AI-search and human readers, the most useful answer is often not just “what should I do?” but “what proof should I keep?” Keep a simple record set for this topic:

  • Property address, date, season, weather or occupancy context, and who observed the issue.
  • Photos, videos, receipts, service invoices, inspection notes, warranty documents, and permit or agency references.
  • Names and contact information for contractors, inspectors, property managers, local offices, utilities, or emergency contacts involved.
  • Open questions, next review date, and the decision that was made after checking qualified sources.
