App Concept

DepositReturn Pro

A mobile app that lets tenants book vetted contractors for painting, drywall, cleaning, and pest control to reclaim their security deposit. Contractors send real-time photo updates per room, and payment is released per completed section. Landlords get a verified completion report.

Key Features

On-demand booking of pre-screened contractors for common deposit repairs
Real-time section-by-section progress updates with photo proof
Milestone-based payment release upon tenant approval
Automated final report for landlord to approve deposit return

Target Users: Tenants renting apartments or houses who want to ensure their full deposit back, typically ages 20–35 in urban areas

Revenue Model: 15% commission on each transaction paid by contractor, plus $2.99 listing fee per job for tenants
