How deposit records work

  1. 01

    Record what you received

    The amount sits on the tenancy record.

  2. 02

    Attach move-in photos if you want

    Files you stored. Not an inspection we carried out.

  3. 03

    Move-out notes

    Your photos and comments stay timestamped on the tenancy.

  4. 04

    Deductions are yours to decide

    Optional suggestions are labels. RTB rules stay on rtb.ie.

  5. 05

    Export a statement

    A record of what you entered. Have a solicitor review anything you will send.

How landlords use it

One tenancy

Record the amount you took. Return it from your own account when you decide.

Photos

Attach files you took. They are your evidence, not a finding by SmartRent.

Several properties

Filter records per property.

Questions

What is fair wear-and-tear?

That is a legal question. See rtb.ie or a solicitor. This website does not decide it.

How long can I hold the deposit?

Track the date on the tenancy file and confirm current RTB rules on rtb.ie.

What if the tenant disputes deductions?

Keep timestamped photos and notes in the portal. The RTB or a solicitor handles the dispute.

Does SmartRent hold the deposit?

The figure sits on your tenancy record. Money stays in your own account.
