And if you live in an apartment/condo leave a phone number with your neighbor that you can be reached at in case there’s an emergency.

My mom’s condo had water leaking in after the neighbor’s hot water heater leaked over the holiday while she was out of town and we couldn’t reach her until the following business day which was like two days a later when we could finally reach someone at her office to get them to call her for us.

Yeah I would just add to turn off you’re water if you’re going to be gone longer than a day or two, or can’t quickly drive home. Even in the summer. I have roommates for the time being. Their water heater was mounted in the ceiling of their condo. Not sure exactly what but some part malfunctioned and led to their condo flooding out. Luckily the neighbors saw it, but it was still too late. You never know what could happen and they would have saved themselves thousands of dollars in damages.
