Move in without a big deposit.
Deposit alternatives let you skip paying a full security deposit upfront, usually for a smaller fee. We'll connect you with providers so you can compare.
Requests are free and have no impact on your credit score. Providers set their own prices.
How deposit alternatives work
A security deposit is often one or two months' rent, due at move-in along with the first month. With a deposit alternative you pay a smaller one-time or monthly fee instead, and the provider covers the property manager for damage or unpaid rent up to an agreed amount.
The fee usually isn't refundable, and if the property manager makes a claim the provider may ask you to pay it back. Your property has to accept the option, so check with them first.
What to compare between providers
- One-time fee or monthly fee, and the total over your lease
- Whether any of the fee is refundable
- How much the provider covers
- What happens if your property manager makes a claim
- Whether your property accepts that provider
