Move-in and move-out proof a deposit dispute cannot argue with

Seal your inspection photos the moment they are taken: date, place and integrity fixed, verifiable by the tenant and by a court alike.

The security deposit is the number one rental dispute

Almost every end-of-tenancy conflict comes down to the same question: did the property's condition change between move-in and move-out, and who pays? The answer rests on the inspection and on photos whose date and place nobody can prove.

A phone photo carries an editable date and no proof of location. In a small claims court or a housing tribunal, the outcome is decided largely by the quality of the documentation. Written notes alone rarely win; dated, photo-backed records do.

A poorly documented inspection means lost time, a contested deposit and a tenant relationship that sours.

How it works, in three steps

It is the gesture you already make during the inspection. Danaya just makes it defensible, with no new habit and no app for the tenant to install.

  1. 1

    You send a capture link

    The tenant or agent opens it on their phone, with no account and no install.

  2. 2

    Live capture at move-in and move-out

    Photos are taken on the spot, never imported from the gallery.

  3. 3

    The proof is sealed and publicly verifiable

    A SHA-256 hash, GPS position and server timestamp are bound to the capture, with a link a tenant or a judge can verify.

What it changes for you

Fewer deposit disputes

A dated, located before-and-after comparison removes the grey area over who caused what, and when.

Defensible proof

The public verification link stands on its own before a tribunal or a tenant, without relying on your word.

One consistent practice

Every move-in and move-out is documented the same way, whatever the agent or the unit.

A healthier tenant relationship

The tenant sees the same verifiable proof you do, so trust replaces suspicion when the deposit is returned.

On the ground

At move-in, the agent seals the condition of each room (walls, floors, fittings). At move-out, they retake the same shots: the dated, located before-and-after proof shows exactly what changed. A deduction becomes justifiable, a full return becomes undeniable.

Remote lettings: the tenant captures via the link at move-in. You receive sealed, timestamped proof without travelling, and the unit's record builds itself lease after lease.

Why trust us

Danaya shows facts, not promises: an image hash, a server timestamp, a position and a public verification link. The value is the proof itself.

We feature no client logo until there is one to show, and we own our limits (see the FAQ).

Why an inspection photo is not enough

A phone photo carries an editable date and no proof of place. It could have been taken the day before, somewhere else, or swapped afterwards. In a deposit dispute, the other side can challenge its date and origin.

Sealing the photo during the inspection fixes three things a lone photo cannot prove: when it was taken, where, and that it has not been altered since.

Move-in and move-out: the comparison that decides

Deposit returns hinge on comparing the move-in condition with the move-out condition. A sealed, dated, located before-and-after record makes that comparison verifiable by the tenant and by a third party, and shortens the argument.

Normal wear and tear is generally not chargeable against the deposit; sealed proof helps separate genuine damage from ordinary use.

When a deposit dispute reaches a tribunal

When a deposit dispute reaches small claims or a housing tribunal, the outcome depends mostly on documentation quality. Timestamped, located, tamper-evident photos weigh more than a print dated by hand.

Danaya replaces neither the inspection nor the procedure: it documents the facts your process already asks you to record, in a defensible form.
