Move-in and move-out inspections
A move-in inspection app that backs up your deposit decisions
Walk each room with a condition checklist, photos, and notes, then both sides sign off. When the tenant moves out, the move-out inspection reports exactly what changed since move-in, so deposit decisions are easy to back up.
Room-by-room condition checklist
Walk each room against a condition checklist so nothing is overlooked. The move-in inspection becomes the agreed baseline for the whole tenancy.
Photos and notes as evidence
Attach photos and notes to each item as you go, so the state of the unit at move-in is recorded, not remembered.
Both sides sign off
Landlord and tenant both sign off on the report, so the baseline is agreed by both parties rather than one person taking the other on trust.
Move-out differences report
When the tenancy ends, the move-out inspection reports exactly what changed since move-in, so deposit decisions are easy to back up with a clear before-and-after.

Common questions
What is a move-in inspection report?
It is a room-by-room record of a unit at the start of a tenancy, with a condition checklist, photos, and notes, signed off by both the landlord and the tenant. It becomes the agreed baseline you compare against when the tenant moves out.
How does it help with the deposit?
When the tenancy ends, the move-out inspection reports exactly what changed since move-in. That clear before-and-after, with photos and sign-off from both parties, makes deposit decisions easy to back up.
Do tenants sign the inspection?
Yes. Both the landlord and the tenant sign off on the report, so the record of condition is agreed by both sides rather than asserted by one.
Is inspections included in the free tier?
Yes. Move-in and move-out inspections are included on every tier, and your first 5 active units are free.
