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

It took a little longer to navigate the process but it was worth the time. The Obligo team was very helpful and courteous. They were very helpful in answering any questions that I had about the rental property.

Obligo is awesome
Obligo is awesome! It made our move super easy and less stressful!
All good in the end…
The application process was somewhat confusing because not all info was available. In the end, everyone I communicated with was polite and helpful and I qualified for no security deposit! The small fee for that privilege was well worth it.

I only did 2 because while I respect the idea of allowing a yearly fee, the website and process is not forthcoming. The devil is in the details, and if you are doing this to "help" those struggling, your fees and the process should be way more transparent. Housing is difficult enough. Someone just getting started doesn't have $1500 hold fee, they are likely borrowing, and THEN add your $600 fee to pay yearly on something. Insane.

For someone just starting out or starting over and needs a little extra help this is an amazing opportunity/idea.

What a racket
When I signed up for Obligo, my understanding was that I would pay a portion of the deposit yearly until the deposit amount was met. However, now the outrageous "service fee" of +$700 I paid them wasn't going to my deposit at all. It was only the cost to forego the whole deposit and make payments the next year. $700+ down the drain. Obligo calls $700+ a "small fee". Where on planet earth is that a small fee? They call it a small fee compared to the deposit. Had I known this, I would have got the money for the deposit OR looked elsewhere. This is another company that has found a way to take advantage of people in need.

I tried so many homes to rent and paid for so many applications and in the meantime I lived jn my car with no hope of getting a place to live and ran out of money cause I applied everywhere. Finally got. Co-signer and than you saved me as well by covering the security deposit. Thank you so much!!
It was fast and easy to apply
It was fast and easy to apply. It helped me so much to not pay the whole deposit all at once. Since I'm moving from Ohio to Florida it saved me so much to put on other things to get me moved. I would Definitely recommend using Obligo to anyone.

I paid my security deposit through your services, but American Avenue is saying that it hasn't posted. They are threatening to send me to collections.
