TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS the day you move in and the day you return the keys at the end of your lease. It's the best way to protect your DAMAGE DEPOSIT. NO DEPOSIT? You still need to take photographs because the landlord might send you a bill for damages at the end of your lease. If you dispute the amount of your deposit refund, DON'T CASH THE CHECK. Contact Tenant Union.
