Feature
Deposits & Refunds, Without the Disputes
Deposit disputes are the most common PG conflict, and almost all of them come from unclear records. KwikPG holds each resident’s security deposit separately from rent, and when they move out it calculates the refund automatically — starting from the deposit, subtracting any pending dues and logged damage, and showing the resident exactly how the final number was reached. No mental math at the door, no arguments over what was deducted and why.
Deposits held separately
Each resident’s security deposit is tracked on its own, never mixed up with monthly rent, so you always know what you’re holding and for whom.
Refunds calculated for you
At checkout, KwikPG starts from the deposit, subtracts pending dues and any logged deductions, and produces the refund amount — no manual arithmetic.
Every deduction logged
Damage or dues deducted from a deposit are recorded with a reason, so the final figure is transparent and defensible.
A clear breakdown for the resident
The resident sees exactly how their refund was calculated. Transparency at move-out is what prevents the argument in the first place.

Frequently asked questions
How is the refund amount calculated?
It starts from the security deposit and subtracts any pending rent/dues and logged deductions for damage beyond normal wear and tear. The resident sees the full breakdown.
Does this reduce deposit disputes?
Yes — most disputes come from unclear records. A separate deposit ledger and an itemised refund breakdown remove the ambiguity that causes arguments.
