Explain to tenant that they should note any damage or defect in property, because both of you will use that information upon move out to determine if the  tenant is responsible for any damage or unusual wear.

In our own properties we tend to give tenant benefit of a doubt if there is minor wear or damage. It avoids what could be far more expensive if tenant seeks legal recourse.

You've probably heard about a landlord who found that his tenant was overhauling motorcycles in living room of his rental home. 

You don't charge that guy for damage... you have him whacked?

All landlords should know about this... http://digbig.com/4ccej
