That way, if there are any damages, you can take a picture with the newspaper and "prove" that the damage was there when you moved in.
Just make sure you strip the meta data from the picture before you send in your evidence.
Why strip it when you can alter it to reflect any time and date? :D

That's right, Lorraine!
As Marty says after Doc rips up his letter, "I've got all the time in the world! I've got a time machine!"I was mentioning metadata because most people don't know it exists.
Editing the data is another, likely better, option but searching "remove metadata from picture" brings up one click to strip options that are much easier for the average punter to do.
This guy frauds
Close. This guy worked in bankruptcy and insolvency and has seen more half-arsed attempts at fraud by people who think they are smart then I want to remember.
Won't work if the landlord is smart enough to do their own inspection before a new move in and document it
I had a landlord once who gave me an enormous folder of datestamped photos and made me sign a statement that they were a true and accurate record when I moved in.
Came in handy when I moved out and they tried to get me to pay for the crack in a window pane that was clearly visible in several of their own photos.
Just hope the landlord has a lawyer who's dumb as dirt.
The Gen z equivalent of making a Facebook post saying your data is private. 🤦♂️
