Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sign up and activate the Obligo integration?

Visit Buildium’s Marketplace and activate your integration with the click of a button. Agree to our T&C, create your account in Obligo, and you’re done! We’ll automatically pull in property information and you can begin inviting your renters!

How does the integration work?

Once we detect a ‘Future Tenant’ within your Buildium account, we automatically invite them to live deposit-free with Obligo, or pay a traditional deposit if they so choose. When a renter is approved for Obligo’s deposit-free service, you’ll receive an email notification. The deposit amount, guaranteed or wired, will automatically be posted on the renter’s ledger. At move-out, any deductions will automatically be pulled from your renter ledger and a summary sent to your renter. Payment will be sent to you instantly and we’ll send you real-time reporting for all deposits received.

Will you start sending Obligo invitations to my new renters immediately upon activation?

No! We want to make sure you understand the in’s and out’s of your new integration. Once all onboarding steps are completed, the integration will be activated, If you have questions, feel free to reach out and our team will be happy to help!

What happens when a renter moves out?

Obligo’s integration dynamically checks your renter’s status. When we detect a renter has moved-out, our integration will use the open charges on the renter’s ledger to create and charge their security deposit guarantee. We’ll initiate payment to the PMC immediately and close out the renter’s record in Obligo. When the payout is processed, you can view the receipt in your Buildium account. At that point, the renter will receive an email detailing the charge(s) and their various repayment options. Renters maintain their legal rights and move-out charges may be disputed, just like with a traditional deposit.

How do I access additional resources about Obligo?

Once you activate the integration, you'll receive access to our partner resource center, with all of the training material you'll need! If you have questions, we're always here to help.

How do you keep our renter data secure?

Obligo does not store any credit card information, we use our PCI compliant partners for that. Other sensitive details (bank account and routing numbers) are encrypted with industry standard technologies (that also comply with the PCI standard) and are not kept alongside any PII. All of our backend services run inside a virtual private network in AWS. Obligo is SOC II compliant.
