Obligo Reviews 173

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 Holidays a bit slim. The management company mentioned this new program to help. I filled out the application and within minutes, I was approved. All that I had to pay was a 10% fee and scheduled to move in next month. Thanks Obligo!

Trash. I was eligible to pay 10% of my deposit but the service continued to error indicating that “the option wasn’t available yet”. When reaching out to support they stated because I did not have the full deposit amount in the connected account (not the 10%, the full deposit) that I was not eligible for the service? Why not just spell that prerequisite out when going to submit. It’s dumb to assume I keep all my money in a bank account that doesn’t accumulate APY. You told me it’d be $50 so the account has $50. If it’s actually checking for $500 just say that- don’t expect people to just know these “systematic limitations”. Or just don’t offer the service to begin with if you don’t even know how it works. Just absolutely idiotic concept that was nothing but a waste of my time and energy

Their support is some of the worst I have ever experienced on an online service. Their response time through the chat is horrific. There is no way to contact them other than the chat and email. I have yet to have received any response on how to change the credit card I wanted to use for my security deposit.

It made all the security deposit steps care-free: I didn't feel the pressure of getting my money back, and paying your landlord (if necessary) is a couple button clicks; no checks!

Helped me to save money when I really needed it, thank you!

Easy and so helpful!

Omg this process was so easy and quick and most of all affordable and flexible.

Signing up with Obligo was quick and easy. Definitely recommend.

I'm moving on May 3rd and I was so happy that I was eligible for a deposit-free move-in.

I really like the option of not having to worry about coming up with a large sum for a security deposit!

I honestly did not know about this company, but it is incredible that they helped me with this deposit.. I recommend it 👍

Amazing company for you rent deposit

Amazing service, easy to use.

Works perfectly with easy to use for information.

Moved out of my apartment and was also charged my full deposit...what's the point of this service?

I lived for 2 years and paid over $400 in fees only to get charged my full deposit anyway. Wouldn't recommend using this service

Absolute deplorable business practices by taking advantage of those in financial need and overall charging them more without a care for the tenants. I was lied to about how their services work and trying to get in touch with any 'customer support' is near impossible, and when you do you cannot believe a word you can say. I spoke with one customer service agent who contradicted herself three times in about 10-15 minutes on a phone call which took months of complaints and attempting to reach out to even get into contact with. I understand that at times it may seem like a good option, but using this service as a tenant or landlord will always come back to bite you in the ass so it is best to avoid this scam for all intents and purposes.

I cannot believe I am taking this route. I typically never leave bad reviews. My apartment complex messed up the final charge for the move out. Now oblige is trying to charge me. I have been in touch with them and explained and although I have been told they would stop trying to pull this payment, and figure out the mistake, it continues. I have spent $150 in bank overdraft fees because of this shit. The company should not exist and does not care what your dealing with.

Straightforward about the price! No hidden fees, no confusions
