Guides for tenants
Renting anywhere in Europe or the UK? These guides cover the common problems tenants face — and how to protect yourself with proper evidence.
Why move-in photos matter
Without timestamped evidence, landlords can blame you for damage that was already there.
Understanding notice periods
Miss your deadline and you are legally bound to pay rent you did not plan for.
Protecting your deposit
One in four renters do not get their full deposit back. Evidence decides who wins.
Logging mid-tenancy issues
Document problems as they happen. Build a timeline that protects you at move-out.
