My response was not addressing folks who rent out their property. I would imagine folks who rent out their property would have a property management company or a friend or family member who is willing to take care of their property when the property is empty. Otherwise.....the renters should do their do diligence and prepare the outside of the property for a storm.

I actually prefer the word "stupidity" but thought of another pertinent word............."irresponsible".

Hope I have made my point.
Our neighbors at house #1 could barely walk out to get their paper. More than once our home watch moved their outdoor furniture in their garage for them, when bad storms were coming. Sometimes they are just not able to move even light weight items, and if no one is willing to help, it’s the best they can do.
