Interesting about the candles and kerosene lamps. What are you supposed to do if the power fails? I guess they're afraid of fire. Good idea to rea it carefully before you sign it. I'm a devotee of the reality court shows--I watch when eating lunch, doing dishes or ironing--and a lot of the cases are landlord-tenant cases, usually dealing with leaving or evicting without proper notice or getting back security deposits. I've warned my daughters to take pictures before and after, and/or to go on a walk-through with the landlord before moving in and noting any pre-existing damage.
