What I do by Kathleen on April 20, 2016 @16:26

35 years as a LL, 26 properties.
Go thru the empty house, take photos of everything.
Then take another set of photos as you do the walkthru with the tenant. I even video the walkthru.

Then when then tenant moves out, I do a walkthru with them, with lots of photos. I use a quarter or dollar bill to show scale. Take close-ups and long shots.

Then after then tenant is moved out,I go back with thevLPA checklist.

I download all photos into dated files, save them on a thumb drive and keep them with the paperwork.

It sounds like a lot but since I've been doing it this way, I don't get the he-said/ she said nonsense.
