Security Deposit Alternatives

Tackle bad debt, get ahead of regulatory laws and increase efficiency.

Security Deposit Alternatives

Multiple solutions. Unlimited benefits.

Our deposit alternative solutions allow you to protect against lost rent and damages, advertise lower move-in options, and reduce bad debt without losing leases from high security deposits.

DepositIQ

DepositIQ replaces the upfront security deposit and lets you offer residents the option of purchasing an affordable one-time, non-refundable surety bond that guarantees lease obligations instead.

Obligo

Obligo replaces cash deposits with a non-insurance solution that lowers move-in costs, speeds up leasing, and provides rapid ACH payouts at move-out—no claims or delays.

See how our customers are succeeding with Deposit Alternatives

“We could not be happier with DepositIQ. Not only is Realpage committed to going above and beyond for their customers, DepositIQ has helped our move-in rates. The program has helped us attract applicants who prefer a low-cost move in option versus a traditional deposit. Additionally, we’ve minimized our losses and have reduced our bad debt recovery by 4%.”
