How to Secure Your Apartment While on Vacation: Tips from Experienced Travelers

When leaving on vacation or a business trip, many of us worry about what we may leave behind.

And it's not even about the theft of household appliances - sometimes a pipe can burst in an apartment. No one is immune from an accident.

How can you secure your home during a long stay at your dacha or at the seaside?

Let's look into this issue in more detail.

What advice do seasoned travelers give?

Here are the recommendations.

1. Turn off the water. This will prevent a leak that could cause flooding for your neighbors.
2. Unplug all electrical appliances. The refrigerator is an exception, of course. Unplugging other appliances will prevent a short circuit.
3. Remove your phone charger from the socket. It may be damaged or catch fire due to power surges.
4. Close the curtains tightly. The sun's rays will not penetrate the room. Ultraviolet radiation can damage the upholstery of the sofa, books and other property.
5. Close the windows tightly. A storm or heavy rain may occur.
