The Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999 mandates that landlords conduct a joint inspection within 3 days of a tenant's move-out date. Failure to inspect means the full deposit must be refunded — regardless of the property's condition.
Every action — room inspected, photo taken, signature captured — is recorded with a precise ISO timestamp, creating a defensible audit trail for Tribunal hearings.
Timestamped photographs attached to each inspection item provide clear, undeniable evidence of the property's condition at move-in and move-out.
Both parties sign digitally, with IP address and timestamp recorded. Legally recognised under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA).
Did you know? Section 5(3)(g) of the Rental Housing Act requires the landlord to inspect the property within 3 days of the lease ending. If no inspection is done, the landlord forfeits the right to make any deductions from the deposit. RubyCheck sends automated reminders so you never miss this deadline.
Three simple steps from inspection to signed report.
Select a property, choose a template, and fill in tenant details. It takes under a minute.
Go room by room — rate conditions, snap photos, and add notes. Works offline too.
