Property managers deal with documentation disputes on both sides: tenants who claim damage was pre-existing, and owners who claim damage occurred during tenancy. A systematic photo inspection record at every transition point — move-in, move-out, maintenance visit, and periodic inspection — is the only reliable way to resolve those disputes without relying on memory or goodwill.
The move-in inspection is the baseline record. Every room photographed systematically — walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures, appliances — with any pre-existing damage documented before the tenant takes possession. In Manifold, every photo is GPS-tagged and timestamped automatically. The completed inspection checklist exports as a PDF that both parties can sign.
For properties where spatial documentation is useful — high-value rentals, furnished properties, properties with complex layouts — Orbit Measure captures a measurable 3D walkthrough of the entire property on any iOS or Android phone in a single pass. The walkthrough is shareable via a link and provides a permanent spatial baseline of the property at the start of tenancy.
The move-out inspection compares against the move-in baseline. Run the same checklist, photograph the same locations. Any damage that wasn't there at move-in is now documented with before and after photos — timestamped, GPS-tagged, and in the same format as the move-in report. Disputes that would otherwise require arbitration are resolved by the documentation.
For maintenance visits, photograph the reported issue before work starts and the completed repair after. The before and after pair, timestamped and GPS-tagged in Manifold, is the maintenance record for that property. Over time, this builds a documented service history for each unit.
For mid-tenancy or periodic inspections, use a photo-required checklist covering the areas your programme requires. Each item locked until a photo is attached. The completed inspection exports as a PDF with all photos organised by room and timestamp.
