The photos you take on move-in day are your insurance policy
When you leave and the landlord claims damage, there's one question that decides everything: "What was the condition when you moved in?"
The problem
Deposit disputes happen constantly. Scratches on floors, marks on walls, worn appliances — landlords routinely deduct hundreds or thousands for "damage" that was there before you moved in.
Without evidence, you lose. It's your word against theirs, and landlords hold your money.
Photos on your phone help, but they're easy to dismiss. "You could have taken those last week." There's no proof of when they were captured.
How RentVault solves this
RentVault creates evidence that holds up. When you seal your check-in, your photos become immutable — timestamped, hashed, and locked so they can't be edited or backdated.
System timestamps
Every photo is recorded with the exact date and time. You can't fake when it was taken.
File integrity hashing
Each file gets a unique cryptographic hash. If anything changes, the hash breaks.
Sealed evidence
Once you seal your check-in, photos are locked. No edits, no deletions.

Why RentVault is different
Before RentVault, tenants had no good way to create verifiable evidence. Photos on your phone are editable. Emails can be faked. Paper inventories get lost.
RentVault is the first platform built specifically to protect the entire tenant journey — from signing the lease to getting your deposit back. Every piece of evidence is timestamped, hashed, and stored securely for 12 months.
