Obligo, a fintech company focused on rental security deposits, has announced a partnership with RealPage, a global provider of property management software. For property managers, Obligo replaces deposit handling with a guaranteed payment method on file — no security deposit bank accounts, manual tracking or refund operations. Obligo streamlines charge submission and renter communications within one embedded workflow. Through this partnership, RealPage customers reduce leasing timelines by up to four days and save property teams 3.5 hours in administrative work per unit. Property managers enjoy these benefits as part of a fully embedded integration, without having to leave their RealPage account.
“Together, we’re enhancing the leasing journey in a way that benefits both renters and property managers,” said Rob Franklin, general manager-resident experience at RealPage. “Our partnership with Obligo ensures that residents benefit from a frictionless, flexible leasing experience that aligns with today’s financial expectations.”
Renters gain flexibility at move-in, with the ability to choose from a range of plans. The renter journey is streamlined from move-in through move-out, with a trusted third-party facilitating communications, charges and electronic refunds, creating a clearer, more transparent process. By bringing these renter-focused benefits to OneSite and Loft, RealPage and Obligo are advancing a more resident-centric leasing experience, the companies said.
“Our mission has always been to eliminate the burden of security deposits and build a more trusted rental experience for both renters and property operators,” said Shira Dulberg, chief business officer at Obligo. “Partnering with RealPage allows us to scale that vision and bring greater flexibility, transparency and operational efficiency directly into the leasing journey.”
