  7. Review Emergency Plan with Tenants
    Review the emergency plan with your tenants when they move in.

    Most people fail to make emergency escape plans and since you've already made one for the property it won't require any extra effort and it may one day save their lives.

    It will also serve as a reminder to you to review your own escape plan with your family for your current residence.
