    Often a letter from an attorney will intimidate enough to get what you wantl It shows your willingness to go to court which most people want to avoid.

    Sounds like Michael will go far.

    Hi Again,

    So today is my last day and I am going to handover the keys to the landlord. If you remember this case, I had forfeited my security deposit (=one month rent) to the property manager.
    here are my new questions:

    1- I assume I still need to take pictures and record video from the unit. So, how should this be done? And what parts/items are the most important things to be in the pictures?

    2- I read some where that I have to take pictures of a newspaper of the day. Do you advise me to have the newspaper in all my frames? Otherwise one can attach an old picture to a set of the day's pictures.

    3- Is it important to have the property manager walk through the unit? Do I need to get a checklist paper signed by her?

    Thanks!

    If you do 3, than 1 and 2 are less required.

    The proof of date should be in some shots, especially those showing damage.

    If the PM won't do a walk through, then see if you can get an imaprtial 3rd party to do it with you.
