LeaseLock, a U.S.-based insurtech that provides totally eliminates security deposits, surety bonds, and guarantors in rental housing, announced on Tuesday it has surpassed $1 billion in insured lease value for residential apartment homes.

LeaseLock further revealed that in 2020, it grew 400% in homes on its platform, ending the year with a reach across 1.5 million apartment homes in 36 states. More specifically:

  • 5.4 multifamily communities added to the platform daily
  • $3.5 million in lease value insured daily
  • $560,000 of deposits ejected at online checkout daily
  • 1.1 billion risk data points analyzed daily

Derek Merrill, CEO and co-founder of LeaseLock, shared more details about the milestone by stating:

“Deposits are under threat and the pandemic is accelerating their demise. Leading operators recognize the tectonic shift and are deploying our B2B insurtech solution to gain a competitive edge in leasing while insuring their assets against future uncertainty.”

Reichen Kuhl, President and co-founder of LeaseLock, then added:

“The multifamily industry has long been waiting for an automated technology-based solution that fully eliminates deposits rather than just another partially-adopted ‘deposit alternative’ offered by leasing staff. LeaseLock is the answer.”
