Apartment Auditor

About Apartment Auditor Android App

Tired of losing part or all of your Apartment Rental Deposit when you move? This free app provides a methodical and organized approach for documenting features & defects that you uncover as you walk through an apartment that you're considering on renting. Capture data using pick lists and your phone or tablet's camera for each feature (or flaw) that you uncover during your walk through. Apartment Auditor is designed for:
1) Anyone shopping for a new home or apartment, or comparing rental properties.

2) Real Estate Agents & Brokers who want to document a repair list for their clients prior to placing a home on the market.

3) Property managers who desire to document needed repairs for their maintenance staff.

Once you've completed your apartment audit, you can create on-screen reports for free, or purchase tokens through Google In-App-Purchases to create printable reports in: PDF, Plain Text, and Excel formats. These Printable Reports cost you less than the price of a cup of coffee at McDonald's. Reports can be created on-the-spot and emailed to anyone who has a stake in ensuring that you get the best value in your rental decision (e.g. yourself, your spouse / roommate / partner, the landlord, your parents, etc.).

Using the reports, you can then have an intelligent, point-in-fact conversation and negotiation with your landlord on rent rate or feature trade-offs, in the event you uncover a "less-than-perfect" apartment.

Even if you find yourself in the situation of having only a single choice for an apartment (due to limited supply or great demand), you can still use Apartment Auditor to capture any defects found in an apartment. This way you have date & time stamped, documented proof of the condition of your apartment BEFORE you moved in. Email your findings to your landlord and eliminate the possibility of being charged for apartment repairs that were pre-existing and already present before you moved in.
