Why isn’t it a good idea to leave my personal property at my own home?
There just isn’t a good way to protect your personal property nor is there a good way to prove whether the tenant damaged it or not. In most cases the tenants would prefer not to have your personal property at the house as it takes away room to store their own property. Additionally, the tenants don’t want to be responsible for the property owner’s personal property nor do they want to be concerned that the property owner will someday come to the house without notice to check or collect their personal property.
