About this app

Photograph your rented home properly - the day you get the keys, or today if you are already living there.

NotMyScuff helps UK renters record the condition of a property from the day they move in to the day they hand the keys back, and turns it into one organised evidence pack if your deposit is ever disputed.

ALREADY LIVING THERE? START ANYWAY.
Photos taken part-way through a tenancy cannot prove a mark was there on day one, but they date it to before today - and the repair log, rent record, move-out photos and deduction replies all work exactly as they would have.

Built for students and renters who want to stay in control - independent of your landlord or agent. No account, no tracking, nothing leaves your phone.

MOVE IN
- Room-by-room checklists for houses, flats, private halls and university halls
- Photograph walls, floors, appliances, the mattress, the garden - everything that gets charged for
- Record a 90-second walkthrough video of each room, narrated if you want
- Mark each item Good, Existing damage or Needs attention, with notes
- Record meter readings and the keys you were given
- Check the agent's inventory, note what's missing or wrong, and email them in one tap with your photos attached

THE MONEY, CHECKED
- The deposit cap where you rent, and whether yours is over it
- Holding deposits, with the deadline for getting yours back
- Rent in advance, and the cap that applies where you rent
- Zero Deposit, Reposit and flatfair recorded for what they are, including the fee you never get back
- Rent paid: build the schedule in one tap, tick the months off, attach a bank statement

DURING THE TENANCY
- Log leaks, breakages and damp as they happen
- Photograph damp and mould over time, so you can show it spreading
- Report repairs by email with photos, tracking reported, acknowledged and fixed
- Record visits, and whether you got proper notice
- Pet requests, and the deadline for the landlord's answer
- Rent increases, and whether the notice was on the proper form

MOVE OUT
- Re-shoot each view with your move-in photo as a see-through guide, so the angles match
- Record final meter readings, who you handed the keys to, and comment on their check-out report

WHEN THEY PROPOSE DEDUCTIONS
- Enter each amount and the app works out a fair share for anything already part-worn
- Prompts you to check your agreement allows the charge
- Writes the reply, with your dated photos and receipts attached
- Witness statements laid out the way adjudicators expect them

EVIDENCE PACK
- One PDF: move-in and move-out photos side by side, room by room, plus meters, keys, repairs, rent, deductions and every email you sent
- Every photo is fingerprinted when taken and re-checked when the pack is made
- Export every original file as a ZIP, free. Your evidence is yours

SHARED HOUSES
- Mark shared rooms separately from your own
- House pack: send your shared-room records to housemates so everyone holds the same evidence (importing is free)
- Guarantors: what they actually signed for, which on a joint tenancy is usually everyone's rent
- Housemate changeovers, which quietly restart the landlord's deposit duties

UK RULES BUILT IN
- England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland: the right deadlines for where you rent
- The schemes you'll be dealing with: DPS, mydeposits, TDS, SafeDeposits and LPS, matched to where you rent
- Reminders to check your deposit is protected, and your dispute window after moving out
- Landlord registration and HMO licensing: where to search, and what an unlicensed HMO can cost a landlord

PRICING
- Recording, repairs, emails and the ZIP export are free
- Evidence pack PDF: one-off unlock for every property you'll ever add
- House pack: one-off unlock for sending shared rooms
- No subscriptions. No ads.

NotMyScuff helps you keep and present evidence. It isn't legal advice and can't promise the outcome of a dispute.

Purpose over decoration, function over flair. For the masses not the one.
