Product definition
What is DepositPacket CA?
DepositPacket CA is an offline-first iPhone app for California landlords and small property managers who need to organize a security-deposit deduction case. It links move-in and repair evidence to deduction items, tracks missing items and the 21-day deadline, and exports a reviewable PDF, ZIP, and JSON documentation packet. It is a documentation tool, not legal advice.
TL;DR · DepositPacket CA is an offline-first iPhone app that helps California landlords organize move-out evidence and deduction records, check what is missing, and export a documentation packet without claiming to provide legal advice.
Capabilities
A complete record for each move-out case
Link every deduction
Connect damage, cleaning, unpaid-rent, replacement, or other deduction items to before/after photos, invoices, receipts, and estimates.
Track the 21-day clock
See the case deadline and product reminders for day 14, day 18, and day 20 without treating them as a legal conclusion.
Work offline first
Create cases, capture photos, and review records on the device when a property has no signal; sync is optional and retryable.
Export a documentation packet
Generate an itemized-statement PDF, original-files ZIP, and JSON manifest for your own review, storage, printing, or delivery.
See missing evidence
Readiness checks surface incomplete stages, unsupported deductions, and follow-up work before you export a packet.
Workflow
How DepositPacket CA works
Step 1
Create the property and tenancy
Add the property, tenancy dates, tenant details, and deposit amount, then open a move-out case when the tenancy is ending.
Step 2
Capture and connect the evidence
Photograph each room and repair phase, add notes and files, and link the evidence that supports each deduction item.
Step 3
Review readiness and export
Resolve the missing-item checklist, generate the PDF/ZIP/JSON packet, and choose how you will store or deliver it.
Who DepositPacket CA is for
- California landlords managing several residential units
- Small property-management teams that need repeatable move-out records
- Operators who want evidence and deduction notes in one case instead of scattered photos and receipts
- People who need an offline field workflow and prefer to decide when a packet is ready to share
Clear boundaries for a sensitive workflow
- ✓The app organizes documentation; it does not decide whether a deduction is lawful or predict a court outcome
- ✓The current MVP is scoped to California and does not claim multi-state rule coverage
- ✓Offline records remain usable when the property has no connection, while cloud sync is an explicit signed-in choice
- ✓TaoApex publishes product-specific privacy, terms, and data-deletion pages before distribution

FAQ
Common questions
What is DepositPacket CA?+
DepositPacket CA is an iPhone case manager for California security-deposit deduction documentation. It organizes evidence, deduction items, deadlines, and packet exports in one case.
Does DepositPacket CA provide legal advice?+
No. It provides a documentation workflow, readiness checks, reminders, and file exports. It does not determine whether a deduction is legal, guarantee a court result, or replace advice from a California landlord-tenant attorney.
Can I use it without internet?+
Yes. The iPhone app is designed for offline case editing, photo capture, notes, and local packet generation. When you sign in and reconnect, the upload queue can sync records and files to the configured backend.
What does the packet contain?+
The export can contain an itemized-statement PDF, the original evidence files in a ZIP, and a JSON manifest with evidence identifiers, capture/upload timestamps, and file hashes. You review and deliver the files yourself.
What data is uploaded to the cloud?+
Only after you sign in and use sync: property and tenancy details, case and deduction metadata, notes, evidence metadata, and the files or packet artifacts you choose to sync. Offline-only records stay on the device until you erase them.
How do I delete my data?+
Use Settings to erase local data or delete the signed-in account and its cloud records. The dedicated data-deletion page explains the two scopes and how to contact support if you cannot access the app.
