Also....pictures! Lots of pictures! With date stamps! (OK, maybe lose the ones that don't look so great.) So you can do a slideshow of how nifty and terrific the apartment looks and you're a model tenant.
People who become lower-court judges tend to think that the "wisdom of Solomon" means "everybody has to give up a little something"--i.e., that it would actually be a good idea to slice the baby in half.
