Any Tips to secure vacant units after eviction?

Hello BP! Anyone have any advice on doing a hardcore securitization of a mobile home after eviction? We change locks and use sheet plywood but it seems like as soon as we evict someone the windows get smashed and people break in to vandalize. Any thing work better than this? Would love feedback, thanks!

A way, and hard pill to swallow as a landlord, is if it’s ending on bad terms or you think the person is going to vandalize the property is to offer cash-for-keys. It gives the evicted an illusion of power as they got you to pay them to leave but if it saves money on rehabbing the windows, punched holes in walls/doors, and more, plus not worrying about a vengeful evictee, it may be worth it. All I’m saying is you have options.
