Fall Home Checklist

If you're a renter then here are some tips for keeping your home in top shape for the coming season!



1. Seal up any air leaks before it starts to get really cold  outside. This will help keep your home warm and prevent your heating bills from going through the roof.

2. Give your furnace a checkup . This is especially important if you haven't used it in a while. You don't want it to break down when you need it the most!

3. Keep the humidifier humming. Dry air can wreak havoc on your sinuses and skin, so it's important to keep things moist.

4. Repair walkways and add non-slip outdoor rugs  . Autumn leaves can make walkways slick, so it's important to take care of any repairs before someone gets hurt. Adding a few non-slip rugs will also help.

5. Clean your oven  . You'll probably be using it more often for baking and roasting, so make sure it's clean before you start cooking up a storm.

Most important, light a fall candle, snuggle up under a blanket, and enjoy the (arguably) greatest season of the year!
