Use a written inventory, a signed condition report with timestamped photos, identity checks on both sides, an explicit utility cap, and a payment method with a dispute trail. Never let platform reputation replace basic verification.

Define who can enter the property, whether the main lease permits a sublet, how the deposit is returned, and what happens if the owner or building management refuses access.
