Does anyone have experience with Lease Lock?
I saw this service on LinkedIn. Essentially they eliminate the tenant's need for a security deposit by charging them $29 a month in exchange for a policy with the landlord that will cover unpaid rent, damages, etc. Sounds nice but was wondering if anyone has any SHTF experience with the service. I think a nice deposit is an incentive for the tenant to tread lightly on a unit, but maybe this is a good idea. I am wondering if Lease Lock underwrites those that apply for the service, so that those most likely to cause damage / not pay are screened out and not able to obtain the service.
