Finally, Document Condition!

Generally, judges are more inclined to accept the landlord's position if it is written. The absence of written or photographic evidence makes it a case of the landlord's word versus the tenant's word. In that case judges will tend to rule in the tenants favor. In conclusion, always document the condition of the property going in and coming out!
