Security Deposit Options:

A security deposit is required, with two options:

✅ Option 1 – Cash Security Deposit: A refundable security deposit equal to one month’s rent is required.
✅ Option 2 – Obligo Security Deposit Alternative (Only Available with Residence Benefits Package)

Tenants enrolled in the optional Residence Benefits Package ($49/month) may qualify for Obligo, allowing them to pay a low monthly premium instead of a full security deposit.

Upon lease approval, an Obligo policy link will be provided. Policies typically range from $30–$100 per month, depending on applicant qualifications.

⚠ If a tenant does not opt into the Residence Benefits Package, they must pay a traditional security deposit.

Move-In Funds Due:

One full month’s rent due at lease signing
If the first month is a partial month, the prorated amount is due with the second month’s rent

📌 The lease is NOT secured until:

• The lease is signed
• The first month’s rent is paid
• Either: A cash security deposit is paid OR an Obligo policy is purchased (if eligible).

💡 Note: Once the lease is signed and the required funds are paid, if the tenant fails to move into the property, it will be considered a breach of lease, and the tenant may be held financially responsible for lease obligations.

Optional Residence Benefits Package – $49/Month

Tenants may choose to enroll in the optional Residence Benefits Package, which includes:
✔ Obligo security deposit alternative eligibility (instead of a cash deposit)
✔ Positive rent payment reporting to all three major credit agencies
