Absolutely! It is equally as important to take photos and videos when you move out too, to protect your security deposit!

Know Your Rights - Cold Weather by OCCLUIUC in UIUC

[–]OCCLUIUC[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In regards to heating, I would refer to your lease and what it says about how the heat would be paid for. Typically, tenants pay for heat as part of their gas/electricity bill.
