First time hearing about Oligo and I love it! The whole process was quick and easy to be approved. Came in very helpful at the right time!

Horrible scammy company that I will NOT use again. I used this company upon the referral of Common Living Inc., the property that I was moving into. An entire year after moving out of said property due to multiple issues, I was contacted by Obligo who stated that I owed them a security deposit. When I reached out to Obligo, they admitted that they had no record that I owed them anything but because Common Living told them I owed money, they had no choice but to accept their word. Even after I presented a court judgement against Common proving that not only did I not owe Common any money, but that they, in fact, owed me thousands of dollars in damages, Obligo stated that there was nothing they could do as they did not "want to get in the middle of anything" and they could only listen to the landlord when it came to matters such as these. For months I had to deal with calls and emails threatening to ruin my credit. They only went away when Common lost their appeal against me in small claims court.

Effortless Onboarding and Professional Service
We have had the pleasure of using Obligo's services and we must say, their onboarding process is seamless. From start to finish, we are guided by their professional team who is attentive to our needs throughout the entire process. The interdependency of tasks is automated, making the whole process even smoother. As a result, we are pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to estimate the work required to have this process included on our end.
Although this might not be the case for everyone, Obligo's interweaving process works extremely well for us. Additionally, having a company that can provide tenants with options is always a plus. Overall, we are impressed with Obligo's service and highly recommend them

Revolutionizing the Rental Process: A 5-Star Review of Obligo
As a property management company, we have had an outstanding experience partnering with Obligo. Their innovative platform has allowed us to offer our tenants a better way to approach security deposits, making the rental process smoother and more accessible for all parties involved.
Our tenants have praised Obligo for their simple and straightforward signup process and responsive customer service team, who is always ready to assist with any questions or concerns. The mobile app is user-friendly and provides tenants easy access to essential information, including lease details and payment history.
The transparency and communication that Obligo offers have also significantly benefited us as property managers, allowing us to easily manage our properties and track the progress of our tenant's payments. The elimination of traditional security deposits has also allowed us to streamline the leasing process and make it more financially feasible for our tenants.
Overall, we cannot recommend Obligo highly enough. The company's dedication to transparency, communication, and innovative thinking has undoubtedly improved the rental experience for both landlords and tenants. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Obligo and exploring new and better ways to offer our tenants the best possible rental experience.
