Get Your Deposit Back: Take Photos of Your Apartment
Moving out at the end of a rental agreement can be stressful and intimidating. You want to make sure that you get your deposit back. One of the best ways to do this is to take photos when you move in, and again when you move out.
Taking photos of your apartment shortly after moving in can help protect you if you are charged for damages that were already present when you moved in. This way, you have photographic evidence to prove that you didn’t damage the property.
When you move out, be sure to take pictures of any damage that has been done to the walls, furniture, carpets, etc. so that you can prove that it wasn’t there when you moved in.
You should also take pictures of any cleaning that you do before you move out. This will show that the apartment was clean before you left and prove that you followed your rental agreement about cleaning.
It is not always easy to remember to take pictures when you move in and out of a rental, but it is well worth it in case there’s a disagreement about the condition of the property. Taking pictures of your apartment is one of the best ways to protect yourself and ensure that you get your deposit back!
