California AB 2801 requires move-out photo documentation. Photograph each room, link deductions to evidence, and export a PDF before the 21-day deadline.
DepositPacket helps California renters document their apartment's condition and get their security deposit back — and gives landlords and property managers a clear, photo-backed record of every deduction before the 21-day deadline.
• Capture move-in, move-out (before repair), and after-repair photos with the iPhone camera, photo library, or imported image/PDF files.
• Run a complete move-out inspection: room-by-room evidence with a readiness checklist that flags missing before/after photos and receipts.
• Link every deduction to its evidence: photos, written descriptions, repair records, receipts, invoices, or good-faith estimates.
• Track the deposit balance and remaining refund in real time.
• Count down the statutory 21-day deadline with reminders at day 14, day 18, and day 20.
• Record the initial inspection walkthrough and the tenant's response.
• Generate a complete evidence packet: a PDF summary, original photos in a ZIP archive, and a JSON manifest — an itemized deduction statement ready to share.
• Work fully offline; sign in with Apple to sync properties, tenancies, cases, evidence, deductions, inspection records, and generated packet artifacts to the cloud.
Built for California rentals under AB 2801 and Civil Code §1950.5. DepositPacket organizes your documentation. It does not provide legal advice, does not decide whether a deduction is lawful, does not guarantee that a court will accept the evidence, and does not guarantee recovery or refund of any deposit. It does not send email or contact tenants.
