I think he's saying he took a bunch of photos and put them together and had them sign something saying that these photos represent the current state of the house. But yes I think he's SOL if that's the case. You need a proper move in and move out inspection to keep any damage deposit unles you want to try and convince a court that there's no possible way the damages could have been pre-existing.

Of more concern, if the deposit isn't returned, he could be facing large fines under the Residential Tennacies Act (i believe up to $10,000). That wouldn't require the tenants to go to court at all necessarily if they made a complaint against the landlord.

Those inspection reports are critical...
