ClearDeduct

California Assembly Bill 2801 compliance, in your pocket.

Since April 1, 2025, every California security-deposit deduction must be backed by timestamped, GPS-tagged photos. Manual phone-camera workflows fail the standard. ClearDeduct ships the workflow that doesn’t.

14-day free trial. No credit card required. Designed for independent landlords managing 1–50 units.

What AB 2801 requires (effective April 2025):

Three things ClearDeduct does that a phone camera cannot

Photo workflow that holds up in court

Every photo is stamped with a visible timestamp + GPS overlay before it touches your phone’s gallery. Originals retain EXIF data — no metadata stripping possible.

One-tap deposit disposition PDFs

Move-In Condition, Pre-Inspection Notice, and Itemized Deposit Disposition reports generated from your photos. Send via 90-day secure link or email.

21-day deadline countdown

Move-out date triggers an automatic deadline. Push + email reminders at 7, 3, and 1 day. Never face a small-claims judge for a missed return window again.
