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.
We photographed all the rooms with Kei and the Seattle Times in each shot. This was to prove it was clean on move-out.
Then I locked up, and sealed the keys in an envelope with my forwarding address, and delivered this to the landlord’s mailbox, all while Kei was watching. Kei can verify that I had no access back into the apartment after we documented the move-out.
