When you arrive, take pictures documenting the conditions of everything, date and time stamp. When you leave, do the same, take lots of pictures, date and time stamp. Also, check out all of the facilities. When we arrived on Saturday the toilet was slow running, a condition that got increasingly worse so we contacted the homeowner first thing Monday morning. A plumber arrived on Tuesday and found an object had been flushed down the toilet. Clearly from the previous tenant. We were charged for cost and as we had not documented this on our arrival, we had no recourse. We were also told we didn't take the trash, a falsehood but as we had not photographic documentation we, again, had no recourse. An expensive lesson learned.
