How does Deposit Guard work?

Deposit Guard allows renters to create time-stamped property condition reports with detailed photos and notes at check-in and check-out, which can be exported and used as evidence to prevent unfair deposit deductions.

How is this different from my landlord's inventory?

Deposit Guard is created exclusively for tenants, giving you control over your own complete property record that documents every flaw, whereas landlord check-in reports may conveniently skip flaws.

Do I need my landlord's permission?

Information about landlord permission requirements for using Deposit Guard.

Will deposit schemes accept Deposit Guard?

Deposit Guard creates the kind of clear, time-stamped documentation that dispute adjudicators look for, giving you a better chance of avoiding unfair deductions.

When should I create a report?

You should create a report at check-in to document the true state of your rental from day-one, and at check-out before you hand the keys back.

Is Deposit Guard free to use?
