AI Move-In Inspection
The Problem
“Move-in inspections are manual and inconsistent—leading to disputes, delays, and lost revenue”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Inspectors take photos that aren’t labeled by room/fixture, making evidence hard to find weeks later
Condition assessments vary by inspector, causing inconsistent deposit deductions and compliance risk
Maintenance tickets are created late or missing key details, extending unit turn time
Disputes require time-consuming photo hunts and back-and-forth between leasing, PM, and tenants
Impact When Solved
The Shift
Human Does
- •Perform walk-through and manually fill checklists/notes
- •Capture and upload photos; label/organize them (often inconsistently)
- •Write condition summary and send to stakeholders
- •Manually create maintenance punch lists and work orders
Automation
- •Basic form templates/checklist apps
- •Cloud storage for photos/videos
- •Manual rules-based ticketing (if any) in PMS/CMMS
Human Does
- •Conduct guided capture (walk-through with camera/mobile prompts)
- •Review/approve AI-flagged issues and report before sending
- •Decide policy-based outcomes (chargebacks, prioritization, exceptions)
AI Handles
- •Auto-organize media by room/asset; add timestamps, metadata, and unit context
- •Detect/flag common condition issues and generate a structured inspection report
- •Compare move-in vs. prior condition to highlight deltas and likely responsibility
- •Auto-create and route maintenance work orders with annotated evidence
