Fair wear and tear
No deduction needed
Your negotiator walks the property with their phone. Photos of every room, notes for anything that matters. Hit send — the tenant gets a copy instantly.
The tenant reviews the report on their phone and can flag anything your team missed. Once both sides agree, both sign digitally — creating a timestamped record nobody can dispute.

Tenants access their move-in report, property info, and house rules 24/7. When something breaks, they flag it straight from the hub — photos, description, done. No chasing emails or missed voicemails.

Walk through again. Take photos. The app shows move-in photos side-by-side with move-out. New damage? Obvious. Normal wear and tear? Also obvious. Both sides see the same evidence.

We don’t need a contract to keep you.
Most lettings software ties you in for 12 months because they know switching is painful. We do the opposite. Pay monthly. Cancel anytime. Export your data whenever you want.
The only reason to stay with Before.rent should be that leaving would cost you more time than it saves. That’s the bar we hold ourselves to every month.
