On board "fights" between employers and employees is really treading in shallow water. Again, I don't know Canadian law, but here in the States an employer has to be extremely careful about what they say regarding previous employees due to legal risk.

Walkthroughs here are actually required as well, and in fact, if the landlord does not do a full walkthrough report when you move in, you can burn the damn house down practically if you want they can't do much, because they have no proof of what damages where there when you moved in. Had more than a few tangles with the Landlord and Tennant Act with this kind of stuff, landlords trying to blame us for damages that were already in place. This is why I take photos of the entire property when I move in, put it on disk, and give the landlord a copy too. Just makes sense to protect your ass.
