[ ] The condition in plain words, with photos, measured against the 4457(a) warranty in any residential rental agreement: premises that are safe, clean, and fit for human habitation and that comply with the requirements of applicable building, housing, and health regulations.
[ ] The date the landlord received actual notice of the noncompliance and from whom (the tenant, a governmental entity or a qualified independent inspector), since 4458(a) turns on the landlord's repairs within a reasonable time after it, for noncompliance not caused by the tenant or a person on the premises with the tenant's consent (4458(b)).
[ ] For a minor defect: the date of notice, since under 4459(a) the tenant may repair the minor defect and deduct if the landlord fails to repair within 30 days of notice, unless the noncompliance was caused by the tenant or a person on the premises with the tenant's consent (4459(b)).
[ ] The entry date and time, inside 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M., and the date notice went out: no less than 48 hours' notice under 4460(b) to make necessary or agreed repairs.
[ ] Where the landlord provides heat as part of the rental agreement: the heating work needed so the landlord can supply a reasonable amount of heat at all times under 4457(c) (not a summer occupancy or hunting camp unit).
[ ] For move-out repairs: the move-out date the landlord received notice of, and a written statement itemizing any deductions, since 4461(c) sets 14 days (60 days for a seasonal rental not intended as a primary residence).
