Qualifying for deposit-free living with Obligo is a breeze!
Obligo provides three easy options to qualify in-app:
-
With a US bank account, checking or savings, connected with Open Banking
-
With two cards and a soft credit check
-
With two non-US cards and an ID verification
In the vast majority of cases, you will be able to qualify by connecting one US bank account. Obligo uses an open banking connection to run a lightning fast series of tests to ensure that sufficient funds are available in your account.
If you don’t have access to a US bank account, Obligo offers alternative options to qualify. You can choose to qualify with two US credit or debit cards and a soft credit check, or with two non-US credit or debit cards and ID verification with a passport.
How does Obligo’s deposit-free service work?
As an amenity to you, Mountain Heights Property Management has partnered with Obligo to let qualified new renters skip paying a cash security deposit at move-in. Current renters can also live deposit-free by choosing to apply their existing security deposit to rent. Obligo charges a fee for their service (a small percentage of your rental’s security requirement), and you keep your cash to invest, save, travel, or spend!
To live deposit-free, simply provide a payment method through the Obligo platform. If there are damages or missed rent at the end of the lease, Mountain Heights Property Management will be authorized to charge this payment method - up to the stated amount of security requirement - and you will be billed by Obligo.
Obligo is not an insurance product. You’re still accountable for any charges, but Obligo does offer the ability to repay charges in interest-free installments. Like a traditional deposit, you also maintain the right to dispute charges directly with Mountain Heights Property Management.
