Move-In Inspection Tips
📸 Take Photos of Everything
Document every issue with timestamped photos. Email them to yourself and your landlord for proof.
🔦 Check in Good Lighting
Do your inspection during daylight. Bring a flashlight for closets and under-sink areas.

Run every faucet, flush every toilet, test every outlet. Don't assume anything works.
