The Georgia turnover where a single cleaning line ate the whole deposit
Bootstrap landlords price turns like a vendor invoice, not a deposit ledger. Tenants push back when the withhold is one lump sum and move-in photos live on a camera roll.

What goes wrong
- Lease ended but surrender date was never logged.
- One month clock started late because keys were ambiguous.
- No room-level move-in notes to support the cleaning withhold.
Fix: Itemize each withhold in step 4 and tie move-in condition from step 2. Deposit Desk shows the return-by date from surrender.
