Questions about the deposit organiser
What should I collect before challenging a security deposit deduction?
Start with the lease, move-in records, move-out inspection notes, dated photos, the itemized statement and the records supporting each amount.
Does this organizer upload my rental documents?
No. The categories and amount you enter are processed only in your browser and are not attached to a pilot registration.
