What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
We have asked LL to do a walk thru three times and have been ignored. We are leaving July 30 on purpose to come back on our last day (7/31) to magic erase the walls, steam clean carpets, etc. We are living this last month on our SD. My fear (gut feeling) is the LL is ignoring us on purpose and will sue us after we leave for "damages" that don't exist.
What steps do we take to make sure we are covered?
Do we request yet another walk thru using certified mail (other requests have been made via email and in person)?
We planned on pics but is video better?
We never did a move in walk thru however on the day we moved in the upstairs toilet was leaking so my hubby fixed it, informed LL, and she said her hubby would repaint the ceiling that shows water damage (never done). There was damage to the hard wood floors that we noticed when we moved in, LL said niece did it when she moved out and she would have hubby fix, never did. This was all verbal, nothing in writing now we fear they will sue saying we did this damage in an effort to get money to fix up the place (they are not re-renting it, they are selling it) better for a potential buyer.
