Horrible scammy company that I will NOT use again. I used this company upon the referral of Common Living Inc., the property that I was moving into. An entire year after moving out of said property due to multiple issues, I was contacted by Obligo who stated that I owed them a security deposit. When I reached out to Obligo, they admitted that they had no record that I owed them anything but because Common Living told them I owed money, they had no choice but to accept their word. Even after I presented a court judgement against Common proving that not only did I not owe Common any money, but that they, in fact, owed me thousands of dollars in damages, Obligo stated that there was nothing they could do as they did not "want to get in the middle of anything" and they could only listen to the landlord when it came to matters such as these. For months I had to deal with calls and emails threatening to ruin my credit. They only went away when Common lost their appeal against me in small claims court.

Hi PB, We’re truly sorry that you didn’t have a positive experience using Obligo. We strive to provide transparent and empathetic service to every customer, and to do the best we can with the information we have in our possession at the moment. When you moved into your home and selected our deposit-free service, you were able to skip paying an upfront cash security deposit, but remained accountable for any damages or other obligations under your lease. Only your landlord has the ability to enter such charges, and Obligo forwarded the amount of those charges to your landlord at the time they were made. You maintained the right to dispute those charges directly with your property or via a small claims court and to pause repayment to Obligo. When your appeal was completed last year, we cleared your charges and removed you from all billing communications. We do appreciate your feedback - if you have any additional questions or concerns about your Obligo account, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
