For example, the All My Sons of Birmingham suggest you read your contract carefully and make sure you know what your landlord’s expectations are in terms of the upkeep and maintenance of the apartment. Another great idea is that on the day of your final walk through before you sing on the dotted line, you take pictures of anything you think can be blamed on your stay in the apartment. For example, stains you think aren’t removable. Cracks in the walls or tiles or wood floors. Verify that all the major appliances are in perfect working order. Just inspect closely the apartment and take pictures you can send to your landlord and keep on file for yourself. Make sure they’re dated and that the walk through is done with your landlord by your side.

This way, if you’re landlord tells you something different, you’ll know better. There are also laws on timing, on how soon after you move you should expect your deposit.
