Fair wear and tear
Normal ageing is not the tenant's responsibility. Dirt, damage and missing items usually are, so the key is to leave things clean and in the same condition.
Common questions
Can I be present at the check-out?
Usually yes, and it is a good idea, because you can discuss any concerns on the spot and take your own notes.
