Christmas is a busy time; many tenants head home, travel, or simply spend a few days away. The problem is simple: an empty property in winter looks empty.

Lights on a timer. Don’t post that you’re away. Lock the windows. Report anything that looks off before you leave, a drip in December is a flood in January. If you’re Spencer, the emergency line is 24/7.
