Before you sign

  1. One photo from afar, one up close.The wide one shows where the damage is; the close one shows what it looks like. Write the photo number on the sheet.
    Kitchen
    Damp stain above the window
    Bathroom
  2. Note the small things too.A chipped tile or a damp patch that looks like nothing today is exactly what gets argued about later.
  3. Send it to the landlord in the first days.A checklist the landlord received and did not dispute counts for more than one left in a drawer.
