Reply from Obligo

Hi Sam,

We’re truly sorry that you didn’t have a positive experience using Obligo. Our team will be reaching out to follow up on our previous conversations and resolve your concerns right away.

Our mission is to build trust between landlords and renters, making the rental process easier for all parties. With a traditional deposit, residents pay a large sum in advance, before there’s any reason for paying such an amount. With Obligo, residents only pay for damages if your property submits a charge at move-out.

We apologize for any confusion and please know we're reaching out to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you,
The Obligo Team

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.
