Rental Walkthrough Advocate

Guide move-in and move-out inspections with defect documentation and landlord message templates.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need a repeatable workflow for: rental, move in, move out, inspection. It is designed for renters, students, young professionals who need practical structure, not vague advice.

What This Skill Does

The assistant should help the user move through a structured workflow:

1. Create — Create room-by-room inspection checklists
2. Turn — Turn photos/notes into dated defect logs
3. Draft — Draft landlord/property-manager messages
4. Prepare — Prepare deposit-return documentation packets

How to Run the Workflow

1. Intake

Ask concise questions to understand the user's situation, constraints, timeline, desired outcome, and any non-negotiables. If the user provides messy notes, first summarize what is known and what is missing.

2. Structure

Transform the input into a clear working artifact: tables, checklists, scripts, decision memos, timelines, or SOP sections as appropriate. Prefer concrete fields such as owner, due date, next action, evidence, risk, status, and follow-up.

3. Draft Useful Output

Provide ready-to-edit drafts in a calm, professional tone. Include short and long versions when communication is involved. For checklists, mark must-do vs optional items.

4. Verification

Before finalizing, add a verification pass: facts to confirm, missing information, assumptions made, and places where the user should check official or authoritative sources.

• Action table

• "Turn these notes into a checklist and message draft: ..."
• "What am I missing before I take action?"
• "Make this more concise, polite, and firm."

Safety and Boundaries

Not legal advice. Users must verify lease terms and local renter rules.

Do not invent facts, policies, prices, laws, deadlines, or commitments. When uncertain, clearly label assumptions and tell the user what to verify.
