Certified Property Inspections.
Dispute-Proof Documentation.

Property managers and landlords use Kura to create tamper-proof move-in/move-out inspections, condition reports, and maintenance documentation that eliminate deposit disputes.

The Problem

Property Evidence Is Broken

Standard phone photos can be edited, backdated, or disputed by either party. Without certified records, every tenancy ends in a potential conflict.

Tenant Disputes

Tenants claim damage was pre-existing, and without timestamped proof there's no way to establish when the damage actually occurred.

📅

Move-In/Out Fraud

Photos can be edited or backdated to support false claims. Traditional EXIF data is trivially spoofable, leaving both parties vulnerable.

Maintenance Liability

Without certified maintenance records, landlords face costly legal exposure when disputes escalate to tribunals or courts.

The Solution

How Kura Solves This

Four steps from camera to dispute-proof property records — no special hardware, no workflow changes.

1

Capture

Property manager photographs each room during inspection using Kura's web app. Every photo is hashed instantly at the point of capture.

2

Certify

The SHA-256 hash, claimed GPS, and identity are anchored to the Internet Computer blockchain via consensus — creating an immutable inspection record.

3

Encrypt & Store

The original media is encrypted with vetKeys and stored on-chain. Only authorised parties — landlord, tenant, and agents — can decrypt.

4

Verify

Anyone can independently verify the inspection record — hash match, timestamp, and identity — with a single shareable link.

Features

Built for Property Workflows

📷

Point-of-Capture Hashing

SHA-256 hash is generated the instant the inspection photo is taken — before it can be modified or transferred.

Consensus Timestamp

Blockchain consensus provides a trusted, immutable timestamp — proving exactly when each room was documented.

👤

Identity Verification

Every capture is linked to a verified identity. Know exactly who conducted the inspection and when.

🔒

End-to-End Encryption

vetKeys encryption ensures sensitive property photos are only visible to authorised landlords, tenants, and agents.

📄

PDF Evidence Pack

Generate tribunal-ready evidence documents with full cryptographic proof, inspection timeline, and audit trail.

🔗

Shareable Verification

Share a single verification link with tenants, agents, or adjudicators. No account needed to confirm authenticity.

Real-World Scenario

Move-Out Dispute — Resolved Immediately

Case Study

A tenant vacates after a 12-month tenancy and disputes damage charges on the checkout report, claiming stains on the carpet and scuff marks on the walls were already present at move-in.

The property manager opens the Kura vault and retrieves the move-in inspection photos — each one hashed at point of capture, timestamped by blockchain consensus, and linked to the manager's verified identity. The photos clearly show pristine carpets and freshly painted walls, certified 12 months prior.

Result: The deposit adjudicator reviews the verification links, confirms the move-in photos are authentic and unmodified, and rules in the landlord's favour — resolving the dispute the same day it was filed.

Without Kura, this dispute would have dragged on for weeks or months, with both sides submitting unverifiable photos and conflicting accounts of the property's original condition.
