How MoveZen Tracks the Condition of Your Property ✔️

MoveZen uses a combination of scheduled inspections, tenant communication, maintenance records, and turnover reports to keep owners informed.

1. Move-In Inspection (High-Detail Condition Baseline) 🏡

Before a tenant’s lease starts, MoveZen:

  • Conducts a detailed move-in inspection

  • Documents condition with photos

  • Notes wear and tear, appliances, flooring, and fixtures

  • Uploads the report into your owner file

This becomes the baseline for all future comparisons, including move-out charges.

2. Mid-Tenancy or Periodic Inspections (Varies by Market) 🔍

Depending on your region and the tenant profile, MoveZen may perform:

  • Annual inspections

  • Semiannual walk-throughs

  • Safety-focused checks (smoke/CO detectors, HVAC filters, etc.)

  • Pet-related inspections

These inspections help identify:

  • Early signs of damage

  • Unauthorized occupants or pets

  • Needed maintenance

  • Safety risks

  • Cleanliness issues

If an inspection has already been completed, the report is available in the owner portal.

3. Maintenance Records as Condition Indicators 🛠️

Every maintenance request creates a documented record.

Trends in work orders may indicate:

  • Wear on systems (HVAC aging, appliance failures)

  • Resident upkeep quality

  • Potential upcoming capital improvements

Owners can review maintenance history anytime in the owner portal.

4. Move-Out Inspection (Full Condition Evaluation) 📸

Once the tenant vacates, MoveZen performs a detailed move-out inspection evaluating:

  • Cleanliness

  • Damage vs. wear and tear

  • Flooring condition

  • Appliances

  • Paint and walls

  • Safety devices

  • Landscaping (if applicable)

  • Any items affecting habitability or aesthetics

This inspection includes photos, notes, and recommended turnover work.

You will receive:

  • A condition report

  • An estimated turnover cost (if applicable)

  • Recommended upgrades or improvements

  • A summary of damages eligible for deposit deduction

5. Pre-Renewal Status Review (If Applicable) 🔄

If the tenant is renewing, MoveZen may:

  • Review prior inspections

  • Evaluate communication/maintenance history

  • Flag concerns needing attention before extending the lease

This ensures long-term protection of your property.

How to Check the Current Status of Your Property ✔️

To understand the exact condition right now:
