Hi,

Unfortunately today is my last full day in Geneva and I will have my etat des lieux tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions for this on things I need to be careful about? I have heard some horror stories from friends who left Switzerland and were sent huge bills for repair works by their regies, so I am really paranoid about this. 

I lived alone in the flat for about four years, do not have any pets, did not put any posters on the walls and was away quite a lot, so I would say that I probably my wear and tear was below average. But of course there are some small marks on the floor and the walls. We had a preliminary inspection a few weeks ago and the lady who did this only listed a few minor repair works (exchanging broken ligtbulbs and lightswitches, etc.) which I have done. However, this was a very quick inspection (less than 10mins) and I guess tomorrow will be a lot more thorough. A cleaning company is currently doing the final cleaning and they will send someone tomorrow to respond to any concerns the regie might have about the cleaning. They already found a new tenant and I think the person will be present at the inspection tomorrow as well.

Anything else I need to worry about? Also what do I do if they write something about the marks on the floor on the protocol? Should I add something like "normal wear and tear"? At the preliminary inspection the lady said that indeed the marks are normal and she will not recommend any repair works. 

Thanks for your help!
