For housing partners

A clearer starting baseline can make move-out review fairer for both sides.

Shared Baseline gives renters a fair opportunity to review, supplement, disagree, or acknowledge — without agreement being assumed. Housing providers receive more structured renter additions and a clearer starting reference for later material changes.

What Shared Baseline is — and isn't

Neutral by design. Cooperative on purpose.

Shared Baseline exists so both sides can point to the same, contemporaneous record of what a unit looked like at move-in. It is not an enforcement tool and it is not adjacent to screening.

What it is

  • A structured move-in record used by both sides
  • A fair opportunity for renters to review, supplement, disagree, or acknowledge
  • A neutral, versioned baseline both parties can point to later
  • A cooperative alternative to one-sided move-in paperwork

What it is not

  • Tenant enforcement or collections tooling
  • A tenant score or renter reputation system
  • A chargeback-optimization or deposit-recovery engine
  • Damage adjudication or liability assignment
  • A replacement for your property-management system

How Shared Baseline works

A structured move-in record — mutually visible, individually owned.

Shared Baseline gives housing partners a clear way to establish what was already there at move-in, and gives renters a fair, unhurried opportunity to review, supplement, disagree, or acknowledge — without agreement being assumed.

  1. Step 1

    Partner establishes a baseline

    You capture the unit's condition at handover the way you already do — photos, notes, checklist items. That structured record becomes the shared starting point.

  2. Step 2

    Renter reviews within a defined window

    The renter receives a read-only view of the baseline for a clearly-scoped review period. Nothing is auto-signed and nothing is treated as agreed by default.

  3. Step 3

    Renter can supplement or disagree

    The renter may add their own photos and observations, mark items they disagree with, or acknowledge the record without agreeing to any specific interpretation of it.

  4. Step 4

    Both sides keep a neutral, versioned copy

    Each side holds a timestamped, version-identified copy of the resulting record. The renter's private notes and personal Vault remain private and are never exposed to the partner.

Boundaries we hold

Guardrails that make partnership sustainable.

Renter Vaults stay private

You never see the renter's private DwellCapsule. Only the specifically-shared baseline scope is visible to your organization.

No tenant scoring — ever

DwellCapsule does not derive reputation, risk, or behavior scores from renter evidence, and does not offer any to partners.

Acknowledgement is not agreement

A renter reviewing or acknowledging a baseline is not the same as agreeing with each item. That distinction is presented in the record itself.

You keep your PMS

Shared Baseline sits alongside your existing property-management system. It replaces the ad-hoc move-in paperwork step, not the platform you already use.

Versioned, timestamped record

Every baseline gets a version identifier and generation timestamp. Later edits create a new version rather than silently overwriting the earlier one.

Not a legal instrument

The record is contemporaneous documentation — not a certified inspection, adjudication of damage, or determination of liability.
