What you get

A move-in check records each room’s condition with photos. At move-out the same list is walked again, so the changes are clear. DoorKeeping drafts the itemized deposit statement and reminds you of your state’s deadline, and you approve it before it goes out.

  • Same list, twice

    Move-in and move-out use one list, so changes are easy to see.

  • Photos as proof

    Every room’s photos are kept with the lease.

  • Deposit statement drafted

    Itemized, on time, approved by you.

Questions

Can a helper do the check for me?

Yes. Send a local helper the job link and they walk it on their phone.

Does it know my state’s deadline?

Yes. The deadline for the deposit statement follows your state’s rule.

Is the tenant’s deposit returned automatically?

No. You approve the statement and return the deposit from your own bank.
