Move-In Inspection
A documented, timestamped condition report before you unpack protects your security deposit by proving what existed before you moved in. NorTech connects you with an inspector for a room-by-room check with photos, delivered as a written report.
Move-in inspections across the Bay Area
Pre-existing scuffs, worn fixtures, or a stain that was already there become disputes without documentation. NorTech connects you with an inspector who checks every room, notes appliance and fixture condition, gives a systems overview of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, and delivers a written, timestamped report with photos — evidence you can point to if a move-out dispute ever comes up.
Why timing matters for this inspection
The value of a move-in inspection depends entirely on it happening before you've had a chance to cause any wear yourself — scheduling it for your very first day, before furniture arrives, gives the clearest possible baseline record.
What to do with the report during your lease
Keeping the report somewhere accessible — not buried in an inbox — means it's actually useful when a move-out dispute comes up months or years later. Some renters also share a copy with the landlord upfront so both sides start from the same documented baseline.
