Send winterization guidance to tenants in September, before the fall move-in rush, so they have time to arrange professional services. Keep it brief and helpful as part of your regular fall outreach.

The best time to communicate winterization guidance is September, before the fall rush hits, before tenants are distracted by move-in logistics, and while there's still enough lead time to schedule professional winterization service if they need it.
