The answer

Keep dated photos, inspections and specialist reports, permits, contracts, invoices, warranties, serial numbers, maintenance and service records, insurance policies and claims, utility and tax records, RPR and title items, suite information, condo or HOA documents, and before-and-after evidence for renovations and repairs.

Calgary-specific context

Records help connect Calgary hail, roof, moisture, plumbing, electrical, permit, condo, insurance, and renovation history to the next claim, appraisal, lender, tenant, buyer, or lawyer question.

What to do next

Build one digital property binder with a missing-record list and save the documents by system, project, and date rather than leaving evidence inside email threads.
