Quick checklist
- Find the right meter (gas, electric, water).
- Take a clear photo of the meter showing the full reading.
- Take a second photo that shows where the meter is located.
- Note the date and whether it's a move-in, interim or check-out.
What to capture
- The number displayed (and the unit if shown).
- Any serial number or meter ID if it's easy to photograph.
- If there are multiple meters, label which one is which.
Common mistakes
- Photographing the wrong meter.
- Cropping out the unit or last digits.
- Taking a blurry photo and assuming it's fine.
Using TenancyKit
- Add meter readings during the inspection.
- Attach the photo to the relevant room or notes section.
