Hand your tenants a beautiful, easy-to-read guide on move-in day and help prevent the repairs that come from simple mistakes. This 20-page guide explains, in a warm and friendly tone, how to care for the home: what never goes down the garbage disposal or toilet (yes, even "flushable" wipes), how to reset a disposal, GFCI, or breaker, how to change the HVAC filter, how to prevent mold and frozen pipes, and when a problem is an emergency.
