For independent landlords

Create repeatable move-in and move-out reports for every rental handoff.

PlaceLedger is a rental inspection app for landlords who want room-by-room photos, factual condition notes, comparisons, optional acknowledgements, and one organized PDF without adopting a full property-management platform.

  • Landlord perspective
  • First report free
  • No account required
  • Stored locally

PlaceLedger reports list with move-in and move-out records for the same rental property
Actual PlaceLedger screen. Keep the baseline and final-condition record easy to find.
01Set the perspective

Choose Landlord and name the property.

02Walk every room

Keep conditions, photos, and notes attached to the item.

03Link the baseline

Compare move-out with the earlier move-in report.

04Keep the PDF

Review, export, and retain a readable copy.

The turnover ledger

Use the same structure at both ends of the tenancy.

A repeatable workflow makes it easier to find the right room, photo, note, and date when the next handoff arrives.

  1. 01

    Start with the property

    Reuse saved property details and a previous room or checklist layout when it fits.

  2. 02

    Record what is visible

    Set condition labels and add factual notes, photos, timestamps, and optional GPS stamps.

  3. 03

    Return to the baseline

    Link the move-out report to its move-in record and review the same areas side by side.

  4. 04

    Finish with a readable copy

    Preview the PDF, optionally add signer acknowledgement, and export a copy you control.

Evidence with context

Keep the detail attached to the place it describes.

PlaceLedger organizes the inspection by property, room, and checklist item so the final report is more useful than a loose camera roll.

01 / Capture

Condition, photos, and notes in one item record.

Use clear condition labels, quick factual notes, camera timestamps, and optional GPS stamps.

02 / Compare

Move-in and move-out details side by side.

When a move-in baseline is linked, matched rooms keep the two conditions, photos, notes, and timestamps together.

Local-first by design

A focused inspection record, not another cloud dashboard.

The core workflow requires no PlaceLedger account. Reports and photos stay on your device unless you export, share, or create a portable backup.

  • Reports, photos, signatures, and preferences can be included in a local backup.
  • Existing reports stay untouched when a backup imports as a safe copy.
  • You decide where exported PDFs and backup files go next.

Before you download

Landlord workflow questions

Plain answers about where PlaceLedger fits and where it does not.

Does PlaceLedger have a landlord perspective?

Yes. Choose Landlord when starting the report. That perspective appears in the workspace, preview, and exported PDF.

Can I compare move-in with move-out?

Yes. Link a move-out report to an earlier move-in baseline to review matched rooms and items side by side.

Do I need an account or cloud storage?

No account is required for the core workflow. Report content stays local unless you export, share, or back it up.

Does a report determine damage or responsibility?

No. PlaceLedger organizes factual documentation. It does not decide normal wear, responsibility, legal compliance, or a deposit outcome.
