Clean up ' You don't know if the homeowners cleaned up before they left ' but you don't want to take the chance. They may have disguised it well during the walkthrough, but it's always a good idea to clean your house when moving in.
Change your locks ' The previous tenant may have given out copies of keys left, right, and center. Change your locks and switch the garage access code as soon as possible.
Call the professionals ' While the house came with nifty appliances, they may not be in the best condition. Call an expert to examine the appliances as well as the chimney, cooler, heater, and fireplace before you heat your home for the rest of the year.
