Caloo Calay! I moved out today! I followed the Washington Tenants Union suggestions on move out and documented the condition of the place when I left. Sort of involved, but perhaps worth it.

Here is another perspective on Getting Things Done, from a laywer. And my favorite software pundit Joel Spolsky speaks about tricks for implementing GTD.
