I have always marked very carefully anything and everything wrong with the apt at move in and had it signed by the manager. If it was fixed then I signed off on it. I kept a copy of this as did management. At move out, anything on that list was not my problem. If I put holes in the walls while a tenant, then they were fixed by me before departing. Any damage done by me or mine has always been easily fixed. I have lived in several places that never intended to give back the deposit regardless of what the spt looked like on departure. I keep photo and written records and will use them in court if need be. They don't like taking a day off from work to attend small claims court.
