NEW YEAR RESOLUTION
I will familiarize myself with the new photo-taking requirements under a new law going into effect in 2025.
Photo documentation requirements are triggered in three events:
-
Before a tenant moves in
-
At the end of the tenancy
-
Before and after any necessary repairs or cleaning
Many of you have smartphones and are tech-savvy. If not, invest in a good digital camera and come up with a system to capture photos, easily organize them, and store them to be retrieved later.
We have always thought it was a good practice to take photos to document before-and-after conditions in the rental unit but with a new law being ushered into 2025, this is no longer optional.
