Move-Out Inspection

Move-out inspections across the Bay Area

Deposit disputes usually come down to whose account of the unit's condition is more credible — a timestamped, photographed report tips that balance in your favor. NorTech connects you with an inspector who checks every room, notes appliance and fixture condition, gives a systems overview, and delivers a written report with photos, done before your own walkthrough with the landlord.

Pairing this with your move-in report

If you had a move-in inspection done, the move-out report becomes even more powerful as a direct comparison — showing exactly what changed (or didn't) during your tenancy. Even without one, a move-out report still gives you your own independent, timestamped record to counter an unreasonable deposit deduction.

Normal wear vs. damage

Most deposit disputes come down to disagreement over what counts as normal wear-and-tear versus actual damage, and a neutral, photographed record removes a lot of the guesswork from that argument. Having documentation from someone with no stake in the outcome carries more weight than either party's own account.

30-Day Warranty
Backed by your provider’s warranty. If covered work fails, your provider makes it right — free.
