Photograph walls, floors, doors, windows, outlets, closets, cabinets, appliances, fixtures, and carpet edges while the apartment is still mostly empty.
Move-in checklist app
A move-in checklist app for apartment photos before unpacking.
door.lease helps renters, students, roommates, and rental teams document move-in condition before boxes, rugs, and furniture cover the room. Capture wide photos, existing scuffs, appliance condition, room notes, timestamps, and a baseline that can be reviewed again at move-out.
Why this matters
Rental condition problems are easier to handle when the record is organized before details get lost.
Use one note for the outlet scuff, another for the carpet mark, another for the dented appliance, and keep each detail under the room where it belongs.
A move-in checklist is more useful when it can be compared with move-out photos later instead of sitting loose in the camera roll.
What door.lease helps capture
Built around useful documentation, not disconnected camera-roll photos.
- Move-in checklist photos
- Apartment walkthrough notes
- Room-by-room baseline
- Existing damage capture
- Timestamps

How it works in practice
A simple documentation flow makes the record easier to review later.
Start each room from the doorway so the walls, floors, windows, and layout are visible before belongings block them.
Capture scuffs, chips, stains, cracks, loose fixtures, appliance dents, cabinet swelling, carpet marks, and missing items with enough room context.
Write what the photo shows and where it is, such as “small scrape under bedroom outlet” or “stain near living-room baseboard.”
Save the move-in baseline with the same property record so the final walkthrough can use the same room order later.
