Why it matters
Deposits get disputed
The disagreement comes at move-out, when nobody can remember what the place looked like at move-in. A dated photo record ends most arguments before they start.
Required of landlords in many states
Several states require landlords to provide a written move-in report within a set deadline — and some let the tenant prepare it.
Photos in the PDF
Timestamped photos embed right in the report — not a folder of loose pictures nobody can match to a date.

Questions people ask
- Why should I document my rental's condition at move-in?
- Because the deposit argument happens at move-OUT, months later, and by then the only evidence of what the place looked like when you arrived is whatever somebody wrote down. A dated, room-by-room report with timestamped photos — shared with your landlord at move-in — is the strongest protection against being charged for damage that existed before you arrived.
- Is a move-in condition report required by law?
- For landlords in a number of states, yes — several require the landlord to provide a written move-in report within a set number of days, and some allow the tenant to prepare it. Requirements vary by state, so check yours (see the state pages linked from this tool).
- Do I need an account or an app?
- No. It runs in your phone's browser — no signup, no download, no fee to generate the report. Without an account, your names and photos stay on your device and go nowhere else; in a CompliMaint workspace they are a workspace record, and the screen says so. Progress autosaves either way, so you can finish the walkthrough later.
- Does it work for move-out too?
- Yes — switch the report type to Move-Out and document the condition the same way. Comparing dated move-in and move-out reports is how deposit disputes get resolved.
