The deadline you miss costs you the whole deposit.
DepositProof tracks your state's exact return deadline, stores the move-in / move-out photos the law now demands, prorates depreciation the way a judge will, and generates an itemized statement that is blocked — not just warned — when it's missing proof. Flat pricing. No rent collection, no listings, no bloat: deposit compliance only.
One calendar, fifty different clocks
Deposit deadlines run 14–60 days by state, and missing one can forfeit all deductions — plus penalties of 2–3× the deposit. A spreadsheet doesn't block you from sending a statement with no photos attached. DepositProof does.
Every state, its own countdown
14 days in New York. 21 in California. 30 in Texas — where a miss can mean treble damages. Add the move-out date and your state's clock starts, with T-7 / T-3 / T-1 and overdue alert levels (email/SMS dispatch is on the roadmap).
No photos, no deductions
California's AB 2801 made photo evidence a legal precondition for deductions, and tenants now arrive with their own timestamped photo apps. DepositProof checks move-in, move-out, and post-repair photo evidence on every deduction line (a hosted photo vault is on the roadmap).
Prorated like a judge would
Charging full replacement for 7-year-old carpet is the fastest way to lose in small-claims court. DepositProof prorates every deduction to remaining useful life, automatically.
Blocked, not just warned
A statement can't be marked ready with a deduction line missing its photo, a wear-and-tear charge, or a total over the deposit. The mistakes that lose cases are stopped before you send.
Flat plans from $19/mo
Solo covers up to 5 units for $19 flat. Portfolio covers 25 units for $39 — deposit compliance only, none of the property-management suite you don't need. One saved deposit is typically $1,000+.

Features
Deposit compliance, run like a system instead of a memory test.
State deadline engine
A 50-state dataset (v2 — rules verified 2026-10-18, re-verified monthly) of return deadlines, deposit caps, and statement rules. Core states — CA, NY, TX, PA, FL, IL, AZ, WA — are cross-verified against two or more sources; other states carry an in-product verification warning.
Photo-proof validation
Every deduction line must carry its move-in, move-out, or post-repair photo evidence before a statement can be marked ready — the evidence the law now demands (e.g. California AB 2801) and the evidence tenants already collect on their side. Hosted photo storage (the vault) is on the roadmap; today the API validates the photo reference on each line.
How it works
Blocker validation
No photo attached = no ready statement. Deductions can never exceed the deposit, and wear-and-tear wording is blocked instead of flagged. Receipts are enforced where a state requires them (e.g. CA ≥ $125).
Depreciation proration
Every deduction is prorated to the item's remaining useful life — the court standard — so the number on your statement is the number a judge would compute.
Compliance prompts
Deposit-cap checks at setup (e.g. CA's one-month cap, with the small-landlord exception prompt), CA receipt-threshold prompts, and electronic-return prompts where state law requires offering one.
What you get
Court-ready statement
A PDF-ready itemized statement with refund math and the deadline it was generated against. A delivery log is on the roadmap. The disclaimer — this is a documentation tool, not legal advice — is printed on every statement.
Is this legal advice?
No. DepositProof is a deadline, documentation, and arithmetic tool. State rules are compiled from published secondary sources (dataset dated 2026-10-18, core states cross-checked); landlords in other states should confirm with local counsel.
Do you hold deposit money?
Never. We never touch funds, bank accounts, or rent. We track dates, photos, receipts, and math — your money stays where it is.
The details
I already use TurboTenant / Avail
Keep it for rent collection — its own comparison tables list compliance as not included. DepositProof is the compliance layer they don't sell.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, self-serve. Your data exports on request today; self-serve vault export (CSV plus a photo ZIP) is on the roadmap — your evidence is never held hostage.

From signup to your first protected move-out.

Add the unit + move-out date
DepositProof starts your state's countdown immediately — T-7, T-3, and T-1 alert levels, then overdue (email/SMS dispatch is on the roadmap; the API returns the live alert level for every unit). Intake asks for name, email, number of units, the states your units are in, and your next move-out date if you have one.
Upload the photos
Attach move-in and move-out photo evidence to each deduction line (post-repair photos too, when repairs happen). Hosted photo storage is on the roadmap; the blocker checks the photo reference on every line today. Every deduction line must attach a photo before the statement can be marked ready.
In depth
Enter deductions
Depreciation is auto-prorated to remaining useful life, wear-and-tear wording is blocked, and receipts are enforced where your state requires them. Deductions can never exceed the deposit.
Send before the deadline
Generate the itemized statement with refund math and send it before your state's deadline. Keep the generated statement with the photos that back it — a hosted delivery log is on the roadmap.
About DepositProof
DepositProof is deposit-deadline compliance for landlords with 1–25 units — the landlords who get sued. Full property-management suites are priced and built for scale: Buildium from ~$62/mo, DoorLoop from ~$69/mo, AppFolio around $1.40–1.49 per unit with a 50-unit minimum (Oct 2026 comparisons) — and their own comparison tables list deposit compliance as not included. Tenant-side tools now arm renters with timestamped photo evidence. Landlords had no equivalent-priced, landlord-side counterpart. That's the gap DepositProof fills — deposit compliance only, at $19–$79 flat. The deadline engine and the hosted API are built and covered by automat
More capabilities
What we won't do
We will never hold or move your deposit money, rent, or bank credentials. We won't guarantee a court outcome. And we won't sell you rent collection, listings, or a management suite — this is the compliance layer, only.
Pricing
Flat per landlord. No per-unit surprises inside your plan, no property-management suite to buy first.
Your account is ready
Your payment provisioned your own DepositProof tenant automatically. Reveal its API key below — the session from your checkout is the key to this page, no email needed.

Your API key is shown exactly once. We store only its SHA-256 hash — once revealed, the stored copy is wiped, so a lost key cannot be shown again. Email don+depositproof@lifeofmorr.com if you lose it.
Quickstart — 3 calls
1. Add a unit (the state deadline + deposit-cap check come back with it). 2. Ask for a deadline any time. 3. Generate a statement — it is validated by the same blocker rules as the engine: no photo, no ready statement.
Start free — no credit card
A limited free tier to evaluate the engine: 1 unit and 1 statement generation , your own tenant + API key, created instantly. It is not a trial of the paid plans — paid plans start at checkout.
