I never knew this was even possible. I'm moving in deposit free and couldn't be happier! It's 2 weeks before Thanksgiving and the government has shutdown, paying the deposit would have made my Holiday... See more

I couldn’t believe it
I couldn’t believe it that I didn’t have to give my deposit to lock it in bank for a year!
great idea to let renters keep deposit money and only charge you if you made any damages when you leave!
Love it! I will recommend it to all my friends
Easy and cost effective
A great option to keep cash on hand. Fair price and simple to set up. Only wish they had been notified before the first month's rent was deducted.
Fast reply’s and lots of help!
They were extremely fast at replying and answering all of my questions, once we did the application we got an approval the same day! They are great! Highly recommend!

Obligo is awesome!
Obligo felt super easy-to-use. The interface was clean, the functionality easy to understand, and it was clear there were no-string-attached. It felt just like we were checking into a hotel. As a student, having some extra money is important, so it was so helpful being able to save that extra money that would have gone towards a security deposit.

Saved me so much money on my new place. Extremely happy!
This is an excellent service
This is an excellent service. It makes your life ssssso much easier! Why having to disburse a significant amount of money for a deposit if you can avoid it? I felt that it made so much sense to me simply using the money for something else!
Easy, user-friendly, painless, ...in short absolutely GREAT!!!

Was able to save a large amount of money, by not paying a deposit. Obligo is a great feature and I am glad it was there when I needed it.
Avoid Obligo at all costs
Avoid Obligo at all costs.
I am trying to cancel my account from auto-renewing after using this service for one year, and Obligo will not let me cancel the account through the website or customer service. They told me I am only able to cancel my account through my property manager, who herself is very unresponsive.
I find it unbelievable I cannot cancel my Obligo account or payment through Obligo.

Obligo is great!
This is the first time that I've used Obligo and I love that I don't have to have my money tied up in a security deposit that is typical when renting an apartment. Love it!
Give Obligo a shot! Totally worth it!
Highly recommend using Obligo! It was such an easy process to be able to apply and get approved for no deposit. I didn’t have to fork over a chunk of money to be able to get into our new place made it so much better because we didn’t have to have money tied up as a deposit for our rental. Completely worth it!
Quick and easy
Quick and easy! Also love the fact that my money isn't tied up in a security deposit. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend using Obligo for your next security deposit! Instead of paying your full security deposit, you are able to pay a very small fee each month (or pre pay for the year) where your landlord can charge you for any damages upon move out instead of paying a lump some and receiving it back at the end. This helped my roommates and I not have to tie up our money into a heavy security deposit fee! Their customer service is great as well!
