Settling a deposit at move-out, step by step
Move-outs are where most landlord–tenant arguments start. The exit flow puts every number in writing before any money moves.
1. Record the notice
Open the tenant and tap Start exit. Enter the date they leave; the app works out the rent to that day.
2. Walk through the house
Note anything that needs fixing, with a cost. Normal wear is not a deduction.
3. Settle and send the statement
The app shows the deposit, what is deducted and what goes back. Confirm, and the tenant and landlord each get their copy of the exit statement.
