# When selling Chametz one should write down one’s address, and provide access to get in by leaving the keys by the Rabbi, neighbors, or security guard. If one feels uncomfortable doing that one should at least write down one’s cell phone number at which one would be reachable over Pesach. <Ref> Rabbi Sobolofsky at [http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/759810/Rabbi_Zvi_Sobolofsky/Pesach_Issues_in_the_Workplace yutorah.org] between minutes 4 and 6 </ref>

# One should make sure to sell one's chametz completely and not with a gift with a condition that it must be returned after Pesach. <ref>S"A 448:3 writes that one may not do a Matana Al Menat LeHachzir. Mishna Brurah 448:21 explains that even though usually a Matana Al Menat Lehachzir works to completely acquire something (such as S"A 558:4), by chametz because of the chumra of chametz one may not do a Matana Al Menat LeHachzir. </ref>

Kitzur S"A 114:6 agrees.
