Deposit Defender announced it has completely overhauled both its website and app to better serve a growing customer base, including new end-users, such as landlords and property managers. Deposit Defender is an app that helps tenants protect their security deposits when entering into a new lease agreement, and assists landlords and property managers with inspections or documenting the move in/move out condition of rental spaces. The app is available for download via the AppStore and Google Play.
“Deposit Defender began as most good ideas do: it served a need and filled an important gap in the industry,” said Deposit Defender Co-Founder Angie Durbin. “Property management software just doesn’t do what most land lords and owners need it to do, not to mention, it’s far too expensive for renters who are just looking for an easy way to document a property walkthrough. So I took 20-plus years of property management experience and filled Deposit Defender with absolutely every tip I knew about inspections, everything a user should be looking for while walking through a rental space. I just wanted an easy tool that lets us document rental spaces exactly as they are – so we can all stop fighting over security deposits. That’s ultimately what Deposit Defender does: saves everyone time and money.”
Using a series of comprehensive checklists and photo-taking protocols, Deposit Defender helps document the condition of a rental property before renters move in, serving as digitally date-stamped proof of condition. Gathered information on properties can be easily shared, uploaded and stored in any secure database to help timely returns of rental deposits in the future or serve as documentation should any disputes arise.
