You may love living in the university
apartments in Austin, but when it’s time to go on break, you’re ready to leave it all at the drop of a hat. However, before you take that long break, you and your roomies will want to leave your apartment in a way that it’s safe and secure for your return. If not, you might have an unwanted surprise when you get back.
Empty the Fridge
If everyone is gone longer than a week, then you should clear your fridge of most food. Use this task as an excuse to make a dish out of what’s good in there. You can also freeze some foods. The goal is not to waste anything that’s still good and to have a fresh and clean refrigerator when you get back.
Clean Up the House
Home sweet home is a lot sweeter when you come back, and it’s clean. Take the time to tidy up before you go, even if you’re in a rush. The last thing you want to do is clean up a dirty apartment after a long break.
Unplug All Non-Essential Items
You can save money and protect your apartment from fire by unplugging all non-essential electronics while you’re away. Items such as lamps, toasters, TVs, media players, heaters and the like present a small but unnecessary risk of fire and consume energy even when turned off.
Protect Your Valuables
Although safety is generally not a concern with our apartments and security is very important to us, it’s important to take some measures to secure your valuables. Have a few safe spots to put your most valuable possessions. For the ones that you treasure the most, you may have to entrust them to a close friend or family member. For the rest, spread them over a few different secure hiding spots to help make sure they are secured.
