Already got the keys? This checklist is for inspecting places you're still deciding on. To document the property's condition on move-in day for your bond, use the Entry Condition Report instead.

Frequently asked questions

What should I check at a rental open home?

Start with the things you can't easily change: natural light, any damp or mould, water pressure, street noise, phone signal, storage and parking. Then check the kitchen and bathroom condition. The scan above walks you through all of it in a couple of minutes.

How do I compare different rentals?

Run the same scan at each open home so you're judging them on the same things. Save each one in the app and line them up side by side, with your verdict and notes, so they don't blur together by the third inspection.

Should I take photos at an open home?

A few, yes. Snap anything you want to show a partner or flatmate, or remember later, like the layout or a concern. There's no need to document every wall at this stage, that comes later if you move in.

What's the difference between this and a move-in inspection?

This is for places you're still deciding on, to help you choose and apply. A move-in inspection is the detailed condition record you make once you've signed, to protect your bond. For that, use the Entry Condition Report.

Is it free?

Yes. The open-home scan and comparison are free, with no sign-up to start. Sign in only if you want your inspections to sync privately across your devices.
