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

Beware of this scam

It's important for everyone to understand that this company's promises and statements do not obligate your landlord in any way, and once you opt "in" you can't get out. Months after I paid my security deposit and moved in, Obligo reached out using confidential information available to them only because they were in some way connected through the landlord's payment processing company. They promised that if I signed up, my landlord would refund my security deposit. After signing up and paying the annual fee, the landlord wanted nothing to do with this "service" and would not refund my deposit. So I paid for nothing. Nearly a year into this mess, including 10+ demands for a refund and to get out of the scam of a non-existent "service", Obligo refuses to take action. According to them, the landlord, who does not acknowledge Obligo as part of the relationship here, is the only one that can cancel this service. Very soon, I will be cancelling my checking account to put an end to this nightmare and contacting the Attorney General's office. Beware: this service may work before you get in the door (I don't know), but it doesn't work after, and Obligo is absolutely predatory in their refusal to solve the problems that they created through false advertising and misrepresentation.

I genuinely love Obligo

I genuinely love Obligo. Moving made so easy. Before you apply just make sure you do have the amount of your deposit in your account in order for them to verify that you could handle the deposit on your own. After it is verified you will only have to pay maybe a $200 for their services. This is the best company to help you save money.

What a great service to give me peace of mind that I'll be able to comfortably move into my new rental. Fee was worth it!
