Move-in, move-out, and annual inspections

Inspections are how a landlord documents condition over time — required for security-deposit disputes, insurance claims, and compliance with most state landlord-tenant law.

Inspection cycles:
• **Move-in** — photo + checklist before the tenant takes possession. Establishes baseline condition.
• **Move-out** — same checklist after the tenant leaves. Diff against move-in drives the deposit return.
• **Annual** — yearly walkthrough. Catches slow-burn issues (HVAC efficiency, leaks, paint) before they become emergencies.
• **Post-repair** — verifies a maintenance work order was actually completed.

Running an inspection:
1. Rental → Inspections → "+ New inspection". Pick the lease/unit, type, scheduled date.
2. On the day, open the inspection on a phone. Walk the property, fill the checklist (Living room: paint OK / scuffed / damaged), upload photos for any non-baseline items.
3. Photos go through the platform image-moderation pipeline (auto-approved if SafeSearch passes).
4. Tenant signs off (in-person on the device, or e-sign link emailed). The signed inspection PDF generates as a verified-by-Turtini document.

Comparing move-in vs move-out:
The Move-out flow surfaces the move-in condition for each item side-by-side, so you mark deltas in seconds. The diff drives the security-deposit return calculation — items beyond normal wear-and-tear are itemized with a dollar deduction; the tenant gets a return statement.

Exposing inspections to tenants:
Customer Portal → Rental → Inspections. Tenants see scheduled, completed, and any pending items they need to sign off on. They can request an inspection (e.g. "annual is overdue — please schedule") via the same panel.
