MoveSnap generates inspection reports based on information and photos provided by users. Whether a report is accepted as evidence depends on the requirements of the relevant landlord, tribunal, or authority. We do not provide legal advice.
Timestamped inspection photos can be a valuable supporting document when raising a rental dispute. MoveSnap burns an uneditable date, time, and GPS watermark onto each photo at the moment it is taken, helping establish the condition of the property at a specific point in time. Whether photographic evidence is accepted in any particular jurisdiction, tribunal, or legal proceeding depends on the rules of that process. MoveSnap does not provide legal advice — we recommend consulting a tenancy advocate or legal professional if you are involved in a formal dispute.
On move-in day, photograph every room systematically: walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and door frames. Pay close attention to existing damage such as scuffs, stains, chips, or cracks and capture them in close-up. Document all fixtures including light switches, power points, taps, appliances, and cabinetry. Photograph the meter box, outdoor areas, garage, and any shared spaces included in your lease. The goal is to leave no room for ambiguity about the property's condition when you received it. MoveSnap lets you organise photos room by room and add written notes to each photo, creating a thorough, timestamped record.
A move-in inspection report should document the condition of every area of the rental property at the time you take possession. Start by listing each room and space covered by the lease, then note the condition of walls, floors, ceilings, windows, fixtures, and appliances. Photograph everything and make sure your photos are timestamped. Add written notes describing any pre-existing damage. Once your inspection is complete, compile everything into a dated, signed document and share a copy with your landlord or property manager in writing. MoveSnap automates this process: capture timestamped photos room by room and generate a professional, shareable PDF report with a single tap.
A PDF inspection report can serve as strong supporting evidence in a tenancy dispute, particularly when it contains timestamped photographs, detailed notes, and a verifiable generation date. MoveSnap reports include unique Report IDs, QR codes, and burned-in GPS and timestamp watermarks on all photos to help establish authenticity. However, the legal weight of any document depends on the rules of the jurisdiction, tribunal, or process involved. We strongly recommend sharing your inspection report with your landlord at the start of the tenancy and keeping a copy for your records. MoveSnap does not provide legal advice.
A security deposit and a rental bond refer to the same concept — an upfront payment made by a tenant at the start of a tenancy to protect the landlord against potential damage or unpaid rent — but the terminology differs by region. In the United States, this is most commonly called a security deposit. In Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, it is typically called a rental bond or tenancy bond. In some Australian states, bonds are held by a government authority rather than the landlord directly. Regardless of the terminology used in your region, MoveSnap helps you document the property's condition at move-in and move-out, giving you the evidence you need to support a full refund of your bond or deposit.
