Pro Tip: Take LOTS of photos (100+ for a villa is normal). Use your phone's date/time stamp feature. Store in cloud (Google Photos/iCloud) for evidence. Video walkthrough with narration is even better - landlord can't dispute video evidence.
Common Disputes: Walls (paint damage), furniture (scratches, stains), AC units (dirty filters), pool (algae/damage), garden (overgrown/dead plants). Document these thoroughly at move-in to avoid paying for pre-existing damage.
Normal Wear & Tear in Bali: Minor wall marks, slight furniture fading (sun/humidity), some mold in bathrooms (tropical climate), small scratches on floors. You should NOT be charged for these. Major damage (broken items, large stains, holes) is your responsibility.
