How it works
Upload the reports. Return to a structured draft.
Fair Deductions organises repetitive comparison and pricing support in the background. You return to review every proposed deduction, its evidence and its amount basis.

A clear path from upload to approval
- 01
Upload one report pair
Add the check-in and check-out PDFs for the same tenancy, up to 100 MB each. A quick pre-check looks for the report types and matching property details.
- 02
Comparison runs in the background
Fair Deductions matches rooms and items, follows the inventory clerk’s observations and reviews the available wording and photographs.
- 03
Amount evidence is prepared
The system finds a cited price where the stated scope supports one, or records the need for a quote, invoice or further review, while keeping landlord maintenance outside the proposed total.
- 04
You are told when it is ready
Processing continues while you leave the page. A browser alert and email bring you back to the completed review.
- 05
Review every deduction and approve
Check condition, responsibility, amount basis and fair wear for each proposed deduction, then approve and download the four editable Word documents.
Report compatibility
Will my reports work?
Fair Deductions works from the clerk’s written observations. A familiar inventory table is ideal, but clearly labelled room and item sections can work too.
Strong report pair
- Two text-selectable PDFs covering the same tenancy and property.
- Readable wording rather than image-only scans.
- Room and item tables, or consistently labelled sections.
- Clerk comments showing the check-in condition and check-out change.
May need a better copy
- Password-protected or damaged PDFs.
- Scans with no selectable text or unreadable pages.
- Reports for different addresses or with too little property context.
- Standalone photo bundles without matching clerk observations.
The reports do not need to come from the same inventory provider. When formats differ, Fair Deductions shows the extracted property details before the full review begins.
Evidence safeguard
What happens when the evidence is weak?
Fair Deductions keeps the gap visible. Uncertain responsibility, weak evidence or incomplete pricing leaves the amount blank and outside the tenant total until a person supplies the missing basis and confirms the decision.
