If something breaks or stops working during your stay, report it to the host or caretaker as soon as possible through Transienthome.com or the contact number provided, and document the incident with photos or a short video to establish the condition of the item. Avoid attempting to repair the item yourself, as this could worsen the damage and create additional liability. Being transparent and prompt about reporting breakage, particularly for items that were already in poor condition before your arrival, protects you from being unfairly charged for pre-existing damage when the security deposit is settled at checkout.
