Why regular photos help

Small upkeep issues can become expensive repairs.

Review photos of specific maintenance areas before deciding whether a visit is needed.

Address small problems sooner.

Look for leaks under sinks and dirty air filters, then follow up before a small issue gets worse.

Spend less time chasing updates.

See which photos arrived, which are overdue, and which need another submission. Roykan sends tenants reminders.

Keep a photo record for damage disputes.

Give property managers and tenants a shared photo record when questions about damage arise.

How Roykan works

You request it. Your tenant photographs it. Roykan keeps the record.

Start with one property and one routine maintenance area.

1

Customize your photo request

Choose what tenants photograph, add a starting photo, set the due date, and choose how often the request repeats.

2

Your tenant sends photos

Roykan emails a link to the requested inspection. Your tenant follows your instructions and sends photos of that area.

3

Keep a dated photo history

Compare submissions with the starting photo, approve them or request a redo, and return to the record when questions arise.

How this is calculated

Units ÷ 10 × assumed early repairs per 10 units × (later repair cost − early repair cost).

This models an annual average, so the repair count can include a fraction. It compares the same repairs at two different costs and does not include staff time, travel, lost rent, or other expenses.

Illustrative scenario, not a savings guarantee. The starting numbers are examples, not industry averages or measured Roykan results. Actual savings depend on property condition, tenant participation, and timely repairs.

When questions about damage arise

A photo record property managers and tenants can refer back to.

Questions

Simple answers before you start.

How is this different from texting for photos?

Roykan keeps recurring requests, reminders, due dates, photos, and review history together by property. You can see which photo inspections are ready to review and which are still due.

What if a tenant does not send a photo?

You can see which inspections are due or overdue and follow up. Roykan sends reminders, but tenants still need to participate and submit the requested photos.

What if a photo is unclear or misleading?

Compare it with the starting photo and request a redo when something is unclear. Roykan records when a photo is submitted; photos alone cannot establish every detail of a property’s condition.

Do photos replace an in-person inspection?

Photo inspections help you review visible upkeep between visits. Hidden problems, safety concerns, and anything that needs a closer look may still require an in-person inspection.

How does this help the tenant?

Tenants can document the care they provide and keep photos to refer to if damage is disputed. Requests for specific maintenance areas can reduce unnecessary visits while giving property managers and tenants a record of the property’s condition.

Is Roykan free?

Yes. Property managers can create a free account and start using photo inspections, reminders, and photo review. No credit card is required. Tenants join through an invitation from their property manager.

Will I be charged later?
