The list of pre-existing damages to the apartment I need to give my landlord, ten days after I had moved in

I'm so paranoid about being blamed for anything. When my parents were here, my father found the following (with some input from me):

Bathroom
  • showerhead flange not securely adhered to wall
  • holes in wall around the (non-toilet-side) towel racks, from a previously removed towel rack (also rough caulking on the right side)
  • several large stains on vinyl floor
  • floor chips/cut spots
  • nicks in bathtub
  • scratches & nail holes on rightside of cabinet and lower wall of the sink
  • chips and holes directly above cabinet lights
  • holes on wall left of sink
Doors
  • Front door: scratches & paint spots, and wood peeling at bottom
  • Small (linen) closet: wood peeling
  • several large stains on vinyl floor
  • paint spots, scratches, and strange dark lines on all wooden doors of entire apartment (including closet door of bedroom)
Carpet
  • small white paint spots on carpet throughout apartment
  • small red spots in living room near kitchen
  • carpet not effectively adhered to wall edges

Kitchen
  • Large counterrim chip right above dishwasher
  • Crack on side of countertop next to oven
  • burn spots on top next to oven
  • about 40 nail holes of various sizes on walls, most notably screw holes in front of sink
  • damages (e.g. scratches) to the wood walls of the dishwasher's countertop, along with peeling at the bottom
  • about 20 scratches and marks on vinyl floor
  • large stains on floor in front of, and coming from, the refridgerator and dishwasher (3)
  • cracks where countertop meets walls (2 at caulking)
  • burnt out lightbulbs
Living Room
  • indentions (2) on wall on frontdoor side, along and turtle-shaped chip
  • many bumps/raises on wall that stretches into kitchen
  • also on living room-to-kitchen wall: long cracks that run along/from windows, from ceiling to floor
  • several small nail holes (found 4)
Bedroom
  • many small holes on walls, notably the inside wall (furthest from bedroom door)
  • larger holes on window wall (4, along with another beneath the window counter)
  • two large holes on upper wall connecting to linen closet (though this seemed intentional to allow flow from airconditioner/heater)
Home, Sweet Home!
