Change The Way You Rent

Imagine a world where residents don’t have to pay upfront for a security deposit, and properties don’t have to compromise on protection. That’s the future of renting with Standby Deposits.

Security deposits shouldn’t prevent residents from finding their dream spaces, and properties shouldn’t have to reduce their level of protection to lower vacancies. That’s why we designed Standby Deposits to be a game-changing solution for both residents and properties alike.
