DIY InventoryIngoing and outgoing inspection reports in Durban
Ingoing inspection and outgoing inspection reports and inspections during the tenancy, for landlords, property managers and tenants in Durban, done on your phone.

Why do it yourself in Durban?
- No appointment to wait for: do it whenever you have the keys, before the tenant moves in or with them there.
- A fixed £30 a report instead of paying an inspection company for every visit.
- The report is ready instantly, so it can be sent and signed on move-in day.
- The outgoing inspection starts from the ingoing inspection and shows what has changed, with photos side by side.
Renting in South Africa: the basics
- The Rental Housing Act requires the landlord and tenant to inspect the property together at the start and end of the lease, to record any defects or damage.
- The deposit is held in an interest-bearing account and refunded with interest, less the cost of any damage found at the outgoing inspection.

Ingoing inspections in Durban: questions and answers
How much does a ingoing inspection report cost in Durban?
With DIY Inventory it’s £30 per report (charged in pounds; your card converts it), whatever the size of the property: a ingoing inspection, a outgoing inspection or an inspection during the tenancy. It’s free to start, and you pay when the finished report is downloaded.
Do I need an inspection company in Durban?
No. You can do the ingoing inspection yourself on your phone, or send your tenant a link to do it. The app gives every room a photo checklist, stamps the date and time on every photo, and both sides sign the report.
Will the report help with a deposit dispute in South Africa?
Deposit disputes can go to the Rental Housing Tribunal, which relies on the ingoing and outgoing inspections. Your report gives you that evidence: dated photos of every room, the condition of every item, meter readings and keys, signed by both sides.
Does it work outside the UK?
Yes. DIY Inventory runs in any phone’s web browser, anywhere in the world. Choose your country when you set up the property; addresses and dates follow your country’s format, and there’s nothing to install.
