I applied to avoid being charged a huge deposit fee and I was waived the whole deposit! This helped me out so mi h for all my moving out expenses. Def recommended!

Super smooth and great service. Saved me a couple of thousand dollars

The first time I used it, I had two charges that we itemized and so I put in the 1st charge and it closed the whole deposit accounting out and I was not allowed to add in the 2nd charge. Nowhere did is say please take all itemized charged and just enter in the whole amount due. Then after several attempts I could not get ahold of anyone. When I did, Roberto did not resolve the problem. He dismissed me and the problem is still outstanding.

Do not use this service. The account holder is the landlord, not you. If your landlord does not close your account you will be eternally charged monthly fees. I contacted them several times after I moved out and they refused to close and kept charging me. It wasn't until I worked with my CC company and have them blocked that the finally agreed to close the account.

If there was an option for zero or negative stars, I would give them this. I was forced to leave my apartment in NYC in March 2021 bc I had months of mice issues that the landlord was not able to fix. Look up my google review of Stonehenge in NYC and you’ll see photos of the mice. Note I rented during covid when most renters weren’t paying rent and I continued to pay rent to my landlord as I tried to be an honest person. Well, when I was forced to flee the apartment for safety issues (not only for me but bc of of the danger mice and mice feces presented for my service dog) bc it wasnt habitable. After I left, the landlord told Obligo that I left and obligo then charged me. Obligo never contacted me first to see what happened. They have been harassing me for a year and a half and even took money out of a joint checking account I have with someone else….without permission. Super sick of big NYC companies bullying disabled persons who tried to do the right thing.

As someone with near perfect credit who typically wouldn’t even get a security deposit, their service has been frustrating to say the least. I even wrote my landlord saying that I would pay any deposit to stop dealing with them. They are too stupid to charge a card and keep saying the payments failed. When I tell them to use the card that worked last time, they are too brain dead to do that. I work 12 hour days every day and do not have time for this BS scam. Useless as a company unless you have poor or no credit and don’t want a big deposit. If your credit is good, make sure your landlord doesn’t lead you to sign up for this service, and opt for a deposit based off of your credit and rental history instead, it will save you a lot of headache.

User-friendly for a new payer. Simple use simple check.I use it for renting an apt and paying for deposits. It’s highly recommended

We just rented a new apartment in NYC. I was about to pay the security deposit with our 1st month rent, and the leasing agent told us we could see if we were eligible for the deposit-free option with Obligo. It only took 5 minutes to apply, they connected straight to our bank account to verify the info. The whole process was super easy and quick. I was skeptical at the beginning because I don’t like wasting money that I won’t get back, but it ended up being just a few dollars a month and we did pay the year upfront and saved another 12% on top of that ... we highly recommend it!
