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 had never heard of this company but it was very helpful. I was able to move in without paying a full deposit and now I can pay for moving services since we’re moving from another state. Very conveni... See more

Using Obligo was so easy and quick!

Using Obligo was so easy and quick, which is important in today's housing market! I love that I didn't have to worry about a security deposit and that I could safely pay my move-in costs with the click of a button!

Quick & Easy!

Obligo was quick and easy to use. My husband and I make decent money, but struggled with the idea of putting over $3k down as a deposit on a rental house since we don’t have a huge savings account. Obligo approved us within minutes for no deposit. You do have to pay quite a service fee (ours was nearly $500) but that made the most sense for our situation. It may not be for everyone, but if you don’t have a large savings account built up, this is a huge help!

I really enjoyed using Obligo

I really enjoyed using Obligo! At first I was a little concerned singing into my bank account on there site. But they really supported me through the process and helped me get my free deposit of $1000 I saved!!! You guys rock!

This was my first time using their services and they were very helpful in securing my apartment application. If using their platform were an option in my future I would use them again! They were especially very prompt in response to my questions and concerns.

Using obligo allows me to not worry about the deposit of the house knowing that my money is safe, the sign in is very easy and user friendly, they give you a lot of information and explain it all, starting with a video what makes it very easy for first time users

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

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.

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!!!
