The Problem

PBSA Operations Are Broken

PBSA operators face a perfect storm every summer — high volumes, impossibly tight turnaround windows, and a high-dispute demographic with every right to challenge weak documentation.

500+ rooms

to inspect, clean, and re-let inside a 3-week summer window

1 in 3

student deposits are disputed — more than any other rental sector

70%

of PBSA disputes are avoidable with proper photographic evidence

Summer Turnaround Crunch

Hundreds of rooms to inspect, clean and re-let in a narrow window. Without a fast digital workflow, operators fall behind from day one of the turnaround.

High-Volume Deposit Disputes

Students are informed and confident challengers. Without timestamped, AI-verified photographic records, adjudicators consistently rule in their favour.

Cluster Flat Complexity

Shared kitchens and common areas create shared liability. Without per-room documentation, accountability breaks down and disputes become impossible to defend.

Inconsistent Check-In Records

Different staff produce different-quality reports at check-in. A weak incoming report at the start of tenancy means a lost dispute at the end of it.

Inspect360 solves every one of these challenges — out of the box, from day one.
