Before moving into a rental, you should do a thorough inspection with the landlord and document existing damage. Take timestamped photos of every imperfection - scratches, marks, worn items. Both parties should sign an inspection report (kuntotarkastusraportti). This protects you from being charged for pre-existing damage when you move out. Without documentation, it can be your word against the landlord's. The same applies when moving out - do a joint exit inspection.
