Leaving my rented flat empty for a long period

Pip pip chaps & chapesses,
my turn for some advice, I'm going away for an extended period (& no not to chokey) - at least 40 days, probably 60.
Apart from letting my LL know is there anything else I should do? I don't have any contents insurance - I don't have anything that valuable, my LL doesn't have an inventory :cool: & it would cost a fortune due to the long business trips I have.

"Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.
"I think I'll become an alcoholic," said Betty.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

buy a lamp with a built in timer so it looks as if someone is home - put it in a room not a landing or passage
