Hey everyone, I see a few threads about buying a house and house-related maintenance, but what about renting an apartment? To make a long story short, I have lived in a few different complexes over the years and increasingly often upon move out I am charged for bullshit that did not need to be replaced. I am about to move into a new complex next month, and after doing some research I found several people complaining that they were charged thousands of dollars to have the carpet replaced due to urine stains. I do have a small dog (she is an adult and very well trained, not a puppy), so I am concerned that when I move again in a few years I will be charged for the same bullshit. What can I do to mitigate the chances of this happening? What steps should I take to protect myself from any future bullshit that may come up? I also want to open this up to other methods of protecting yourself from lovely landlords or any other apartment-related chat.

The time stamped photos is good advice, thank you. Just to clarify, it wasn't friends of mine that got screwed over, just some reviews I read online. Some of them claimed that they didn't even own any pets and still got presented with photos of urine stains under a blacklight, which sounds awfully fishy to me.

Funnily enough, I am in Colorado! Not getting a deposit back is one thing, but I've heard horror stories of people getting charged thousands of dollars to replace the carpet. That is what I am wary of.
