TIPS FOR LANDLORDS...

If the unit is damaged or dirty, make sure any repairs or cleaning has been completed prior to signing off on the final inspection.

Ask for payment or withhold the damage deposit, if necessary and if permitted by your province or territory, in order to cover any additional costs you incur.
