How do I document a rental at move-in?

Walk each room, photograph the condition, and speak a note about anything already damaged. WIPI stores the photos, the notes and the date together.

Can roommates share one inventory?

Yes. The Family plan covers four shared users in a workspace, each with their own login.

Is my move-in record usable in a deposit dispute?

The record includes dated photographs and written condition notes per room, and can be exported or shared, which is the evidence a landlord or agency normally asks for.

Move-in and move-out documentation for renters

Photograph and describe the condition of a rental the day you get the keys, and again the day you hand them back. WIPI keeps both dated records with photos and notes so a deposit dispute has evidence behind it.

What to capture

Room-by-room condition photos with spoken notes at move-in
Your own belongings, logged by voice while you unpack
Existing damage, marked in the condition notes on a location or item
A second pass at move-out to compare against the first

Practical details

Records carry the date they were created.
The Family plan covers four shared users, so roommates can see the same record.
Billing is monthly and cancellable in Settings — there is no fixed-term contract.
