How this tool works

Use it at move-in to record existing damage, and again at move-out to show the unit's condition. Learn more in how to get your security deposit back.

Frequently asked questions

When should I do a move-in inspection?

Before you move furniture in — ideally on the day you get the keys.

Should I send the report to my landlord?

Yes. Email it with your photos so there's a dated record, and keep a copy until your deposit is returned.
