The leak you reported 8 months ago? Prove it.
When you move out and the landlord blames you for damage, can you prove you reported it months ago? If not, you pay.
The problem
Things break during a tenancy. Pipes leak, appliances fail, paint chips. You tell the landlord. Maybe you email, maybe you call, maybe you mention it in passing.
8 months later at move-out: "There's water damage under the sink. That'll be €800 from your deposit." You know you reported it. But can you prove it?
Verbal reports don't count. Text messages get deleted. Without a clear, dated record, you're responsible for damage you didn't cause.
How RentVault solves this
RentVault's Issues Log lets you document problems as they happen — with photos, descriptions, and timestamps that create a verifiable timeline.
Log issues instantly
Something breaks? Open RentVault, snap photos, add a description. The date and time are recorded automatically.
Build a timeline
Every issue is recorded chronologically. At move-out, you have a complete history of what happened and when.
Tamper-proof evidence
Photos are stored with cryptographic hashes. If anyone tries to edit or backdate them, the evidence is broken.
