What makes useful rental evidence?

Learn how to create rental documentation that is clear and easy to understand later.

Clear context matters

Useful documentation should make it easy to understand what is shown, where it is located and what condition was visible when you recorded it.

Take useful photos

Helpful tips
  • Use good lighting.
  • Avoid blurry images.
  • Take an overview photo before close-ups.
  • Capture important details from more than one angle when useful.
  • Avoid editing photos in ways that could make their contents misleading.

Add context with notes

A short factual note can help explain something that is difficult to see clearly in a photo.

Keep notes descriptive rather than speculative. Describe what you observed and where.

Document throughout the tenancy

Move-in documentation is important, but relevant issues that arise later can also be added to your rental record.
