Do you take photos for move in and move out?

[David L.]

Do you guys take photos and document the condition of your rentals when a tenant moves in and also moves out? If so, why or why not? 

Do you allow the tenants to see those photos if they ask or dispute a charge when they move out?

When I previously rented a place I would take my own photos as a tenant but curious if it's in my interest as a landlord or a property manager to do the same. I imagine pros would be having some sort of proof that the tenant damaged the place under their watch and having some sort of recourse for it. Cons would be having to keep track of all the photos and stuff.

So what do you guys do for it? Do property managers do this for you or are there prop management apps that include this feature on top of managing tenant payments and stuff? 

Also would love to hear if you are a prop manager or just a regular landlord who's handling their own rentals. I plan on managing my own.
