Ren-t-in

• I am moving into my apartment and the landlord wants to meet me to inspect the place. I thought we already did this when I viewed the apartment. Why do I have to do it again?
• What happens if I don’t show up for the inspection?
• What kinds of things should I be looking for when I am involved in an inspection of rented property?
• I am moving into my rented house on the same day the previous tenant is moving out. There will be a very short time when the place will contain no furniture, but the landlord says he cannot come for an inspection during that time. What should I do?
• I found an apartment that is really convenient for me to go to school. I am supposed to move in tomorrow. I was waiting for the landlord to arrange to carry out an inspection report, but he says he is not interested in doing one as he did one when the last tenants moved out. I have no time to look for another apartment, but I am worried about not doing an inspection because I gave the landlord a security deposit. Is there anything I can do to protect myself?
