Why landlords use this kit
Itemized deductions you can defend
Move-out cleaning, repairs, and other deductions flow into a return worksheet so the math is clear before you send money back.
Vacancy that doesn’t stall
A turnover pipeline tracks vacant → clean → repair → list → leased so empty units stay visible on your dashboard.
Companion to the Schedule E kit
Different job: that kit is books & tax-year handoff; this kit is deposits and turnovers. Use either alone or together.

Honest fine print
Kitwright does not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. Deduction categories and date helpers are for organization only. Deposit deadlines, interest rules, and allowable deductions vary by state. You are responsible for following your state’s security-deposit laws and lease terms. This is an operations and bookkeeping aid, not a compliance product.
