Long-Term Vacancy House Checklist – Proper Shutdown & Protection
Leaving a home vacant for weeks or months requires more than locking the door. The Long-Term Vacancy House Checklist provides a structured, step-by-step system to safely shut down and protect a property during extended absences, reducing the risk of water damage, mold, HVAC failure, fire hazards, pest intrusion, and insurance issues.
Designed for seasonal homes, second residences, vacant rentals, and extended travel, this checklist walks homeowners and property managers through water shutoff and drainage, HVAC settings and alerts, appliance shutdown, security systems, pest prevention, exterior preparation, and documentation.
By following a consistent vacancy process, homeowners can avoid costly surprises, maintain insurance compliance, and ensure the property remains secure and stable until return.
✅ What This Checklist Covers
🚰 Water System Shutdown
🌡️ HVAC & Climate Control
🔥 Electrical & Fire Safety
🔐 Security & Monitoring
🔌 Appliance Shutdown
🏠 Interior Preparation
🌳 Exterior & Grounds
🐜 Pest Prevention
📋 Insurance & Documentation
🧠 Why This Checklist Matters
Most long-term vacancy damage happens quietly—a small leak, temperature failure, or power outage that goes unnoticed. This checklist creates a repeatable shutdown standard, helping homeowners protect their investment, reduce emergency repairs, and maintain peace of mind while away.
It’s especially valuable for remote owners and seasonal properties, where regular occupancy isn’t possible.
