A finished record, as a sample

This is what a Before You Go record looks like once the statement is sent: the sealed move-in walkthrough, the move-in and move-out pair, one deduction with the photos and the invoice behind it, and the itemized statement. Both sides see the same evidence. It shows one record, not a checklist of what your state requires.

The sealed move-in record

Settlement

One deduction, as the landlord built it

Evidence first, then the cost document, then the amount. This line cites the move-in and move-out photos, a photo added after the work, and the painter's invoice.

Settlement

The same line, as the tenant sees it

The tenant meets the same photos and the same invoice before the number, and answers one line at a time. Approve and Dispute carry equal weight; nothing is selected for them.

The documents

Both PDFs were produced by the same code that produces real statements and binders. Every page is marked SAMPLE. The binder's checking sheet cites the sample statement and the sealed move-in manifest by their SHA-256 digests; both files are linked on this page, not on a lease page or in a ZIP.
