I have had around 100 stays (~35 with the current cleaning company) and no complaints about cleanliness ever, but in the event that there is an issue in the future, I can see how having pictures to confirm or dispute the guests complaints could be of value.

You can look in the events forum here or on meetup dot com or look up your local REIA.

In the event my landlord is interested in selling, I was wondering if I could add value in the short term by, say, converting part of the garage and/or covered porch into a bathroom and maybe a bedroom (currently 3 bed 1 bath).

And hopefully, this is the worst guest/event that happens to you for all of 2025.

On a more common event list, would be hail, flooding and wind damage (trees esp.).
