well, when I move out I would like to get the inspection done and discuss any expenses right then and there so we can dispute the condition of it as we are looking at the issue.
What I am concerned about is that after the inspection is done they come back later and say “oh, X needed to be replaced so it’s $XXX”, then it’s just a “he said, she said” situation! I could take pictures but who is to say when those were taken etc. I doubt they would hold up in court.
I think it’s fair that if it’s not picked up during the *MOVE OUT* inspection then too bad for the landlord, just like if I do not pick up something in the *MOVE IN* inspection then the landlord can say I damaged it.
