Insurtech Product

Leaselock and Boost Insurance Leverages API-Driven Platform

About: LeaseLock Insurance Services rolled out an insurtech product for the rental housing market in collaboration with Boost Insurance. The new product is based on API-driven platform that serves as a security deposit alternative for property owners. Through the collaboration, the two partners aim to transform the real-estate industry by applying an insurtech solution.

Process: The product LeaseLock Zero Deposit, enable property managers to safeguard against losses typically funded by inefficient security deposits and surety bonds. It replaces the upfront security deposit with a monthly charge, which renters pay as part of their rent payment. For a monthly charge of US$19, the rental offers insurance coverage of over US$5,000 against rent and damage loss on every lease. Unlike a security deposit, property owners will not get their money back; however, they can save money by relocating it easily. Leveraging Boost’s API-driven platform, Leaselock provides insurance coverage tailored to the needs of multifamily property managers and owners. It helps to reduce move-in costs and faster approval during the leasing process thereby modernizing the lease transaction process and offering a better experience for both renters and property operators. The product is live across the US.

What Next's: With the increasing competition in the residential rental market, expensive upfront security deposits have become a major pain point for customers and often resulting in abandoned lease applications. However, the evolution of the real estate and insurance industries can be accelerated by technology. LeaseLock’s new insurtech product is one such solution that replaces the security deposit, surety bonds, cosigners, and guarantor services, making a modern transaction for rental housing faster, simpler, and more affordable.
