Our take
Moving into a property usually requires a security deposit, and whilst this will be returned upon move-out if the property has not been damaged, this money is soon spent once again on a new move-in deposit. This ultimately makes this chunk of money inaccessible to both the landlord and the renter, raising the question as to whether there is a better alternative to security deposits.
Obligo provides a flexible security deposit alternative, preventing renters from having to pay a security deposit up front. Instead, the company provides a legal framework that only requires renters to pay when a damage charge has been submitted, with the company paying the landlord up-front whilst facilitating the renter to pay through interest-free instalments.
Landlords and renters already have choices for digital security deposit systems, but Obligo stands out by removing the necessity for up-front payments. The company has raised significant funding over the years, which supports expansion and partnership strengthening.
