📸 Check-In Inventory & Schedule of Condition Builder

⚖️ "Kitchen: good condition" has never won anybody an adjudication.

Deposit disputes are decided on evidence, and vague loses. This turns your notes into the version that doesn't.

Room by room: every item graded, defects recorded with location and measurement, cleanliness scored separately from condition (they're separately adjudicated, and cleaning is one of the most common deductions), meter readings, keys, alarms, a numbered photograph index, and an unsigned tenant declaration.

🙅 It will not pad your inventory

Notes say "bathroom fine"? You get a bathroom marked general_only, condition not_recorded. Not a convincing list of sanitaryware you never actually looked at.

That's not the tool being difficult. An inventory containing an item nobody inspected is worse than a thin one, because you'll lean on it — and at adjudication the tenant will calmly point out it isn't there, or was already chipped when they moved in.

not_recorded gets used freely and without apology. It's the most useful value in the whole schema.

📷 The photograph index

Every defect gets a numbered reference — K-02, BR2-01 — and the index gets built whether or not you mentioned taking any photos. If you didn't, that goes in the gaps list too.

Photographs decide adjudications. A numbered list of the shots you're missing is the single thing most likely to send you back to the property before Saturday.

🕳️ The gaps list

Rooms not covered. Items described in one word. No meter readings. No serial numbers on the appliances. No cleanliness assessment. No tenant sign-off.

Specific, not hand-wavy: "Living room described only as 'ok' — no flooring, wall, window or fixture detail recorded, so no deduction could be evidenced for anything in this room."

🚫 It won't invent rooms, items, appliances or readings. It won't upgrade a defect you described to a nicer grade. And it won't assign fault or suggest deductions — that's the check-out comparison and the adjudicator's job.

👀 Try the messy one

Six words per room. A mark on a wall in an unidentified bedroom. Tenants moving in Saturday.

It records what little there is, notices that a three-bed property somehow only has two bedrooms in the notes, and tells the landlord plainly that nothing here would support a deduction — while there's still time to go back.
