Turn the walks you already do into proof.
Montage gives every unit a dated condition record, built from the walkthroughs your team and residents already do. For market-rate communities and HUD-assisted portfolios alike.
Condition is where the money and the risk are.
Three places a missing record costs you.
Deposits.
A move-out dispute comes down to what the unit looked like at move-in. Without a dated record it is your word against the resident's.
Inspections.
Under NSPIRE, HUD now scores items it used to only note. A low score follows the property and brings the inspector back sooner.
Turnover.
Staff change, vendors change and files go missing. The history of a unit should not leave with the person who knew it.
What you get.
- Move-in and move-out
A handover record both sides can stand on.
A dated record of the unit at move-in and again at move-out, made with the resident, before a deposit is ever disputed.
- Pre-inspection
See it before the inspector does.
Walk units ahead of an inspection. What is likely to be cited is in front of your maintenance team while there is still time to fix it.
- Annual record
The yearly unit inspection, already on file.
HUD-assisted owners must inspect every unit each year and keep the results for three years. The same walk produces that record.
- Repairs
Proof the work was done.
A dated record of the completed repair, reviewed from the desk, for your files and for anyone who asks.
- Unit history
One history per unit.
Every walk adds to the same record, in the same form, across staff changes, vendors and residents.
- Your team
No new job for anyone.
Walks are done by the people already in the building, with the phone already in their pocket.
Montage keeps a permanent, dated record of a unit's condition that no one can rewrite. We show how it works in a briefing.
The life of a unit, on one record.
- Move-in
The resident and your staff record the unit at handover.
- Annual walk
The yearly inspection adds to the same history.
- Before an inspection
Find and fix what would be cited.
- After a repair
The fix is recorded and confirmed from the desk.
- Move-out
The closing record sits beside the opening one.
The inspection calendar has already changed.
- In effectOct 1, 2026
HUD began scoring NSPIRE's affirmative requirements, the things every unit must have. They count against your inspection score now.

Notice PIH 2026-18
Built for the real world.
People make the record.
A walk is done by a person who is already allowed in the unit, in plain view, at a time they choose.
Consent comes first.
Nothing is captured without the consent of the owner or resident responsible for the unit.
Terms in writing before work starts.
Who can see a record, how long it is kept and how it may be used are agreed up front. Read our approach.
See it on your own units.
Tell us what you manage or inspect. We will arrange a briefing.
