Our take

Moving into a property usually requires a security deposit, and whilst this will be returned upon move-out if a 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 for property renting, 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. By facilitating interest-free payments in the event that a damage charge is submitted, the company frees up security deposit cash for renters, without making renting relationships any less secure for the landlord.
