Some people have framerate issues and there ' s this weird wobbly ball outline that completely fucks you up when attempting aerials from a farther distance . <| sep |> Done my boi <| sep |> Let ' s say that the new person moving in does find some damages . Then what ? How do you figure out the cost of fixing those damages so as to reduce the payment he makes . What if the old tenant says Oh , that was like that when we moved in , so it won ' t affect the security deposit ? The proper thing to do would be for the incoming tenant to ask the outgoing tenant for all the evidence . Hopefully the outgoing tenant took pictures to document any damage before moving in . If there is any damage that the old tenant can ' t document , then the new tenant should reduce the security deposit accordingly . There ' s actually an inbetween position the landlord inspects while the tenants are still living there and then signs a letter that says I agree that New Tenant ' s security deposit will only be applied to hisher share of damages occurring after date . That ' s basically an estoppel statement . That would work if the landlord is willing to do that , but heshe really has no reason to do so .
