How It Works

Simple transparency, powerful protection

FairLease uses a state-based system with an immutable ledger to ensure fair deposit management from move-in to move-out.

The Tenancy Journey

Every tenancy follows a clear path through protected states

1. PENDING_MOVE_IN

Tenant joins via agent's code. Waiting for both parties to confirm details.

2. MOVE_IN

Initial condition logged. Deposit amount confirmed. Ready to activate.

3. ACTIVE

Tenancy live! Ledger is open for transparent financial entries.

4. MOVE_OUT_INITIATED

Notice given. Both parties preparing for final condition assessment.

5. MOVE_OUT_ACKNOWLEDGED

Final condition logged and acknowledged. Deposit calc in progress.

6. FINALIZED

Final amount confirmed. Remaining deposit ready for release.

7. ARCHIVED

Tenancy complete. Records locked as read-only permanent audit trail.

Core System

The Immutable Ledger

The heart of FairLease is our financial-only ledger. Once an entry is created, it cannot be edited or deleted. Ever.

Ledger Rules

  • Financial records only—no photos, no descriptions
  • Entries allowed only inside the ACTIVE tenancy state
  • Deposit release completely locked until FINALIZED state
  • ARCHIVED tenancies become read-only forever
