5 rules that win disputes

• •Shoot the same angles at check-in and check-out — like-for-like beats 'lots of photos'.
• •Every photo dated/time-stamped — undated photos get discounted.
• •Neutral, factual descriptions ('2cm scuff, lower-left of wall'), never emotional language.
• •Separate fair wear and tear from damage, item by item.
• •Keep check-in and check-out in one comparison document.

What's inside

• •A room-by-room shot list (kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, walls, floors, windows, exterior).
• •Meter-reading and smoke/CO-alarm reminders.
• •Printable, or keep it on your phone during the inspection.
