Best Practice for Time Stamping Photos for Walkthroughs/Damages

[Paul McCormick Jr]

Hello all,

I had a general question about time stamping photos, I was wondering what everyone's best practice was for time stamping photos during the move-in & move-out process with tenants. I'm not sure if I'm thinking too much into it, but do you use a newspaper or something in addition to your camera/phone to prove time stamped photos. 

My cautionary thinking was that with technology it's not to difficult for someone to change the time stamp on digital photos. I was wondering if anyone had foolproof ways of time stamps and if anyone had any experience or stories about being challenged in small claims court.  I know it's a stretch, but just curious, and wondering how everyone protects themselves. 

Thanks,
Paul
