Withhold my deposit if they never renewed my lease and redid a new checklist
The importance of a move- in check list cannot be stressed enough. However if there is no move in check list, then the landlord has the same issue as you do - attesting to the former condition of a home. So if there is a dispute as to the move-out condition, it's your word against theirs.
