Be nice.
Just be so nice.
Get him the papers you require fifty times if he misplaced them.
I take my adult children with me to be my extra eyes. My son is 6"5'. He methodically tapes everything. He uses a yard stick to show scale.
My daughter and I go over every inch; the first round it to copy the before photos exactly. Then we zoom in for individual damages.
At the end of the walk around, we hand them an envelope with all their move out information stapled to a copy of their rental agreement.
I've never had a problem if I have backup at the original walkthrough, the rental agreement and again at closing.
Take photos before tenants move in and again with them ON move in day.
