Deposit Coverage incurs a one time fee (except in California, where it will need to be renewed at policy expiration). If the landlord wants to continue their rent guarantee beyond the first lease term, then Rent Coverage must be renewed with every new lease (usually annually).
A combination of the gross monthly rent, the coverage level, and the risk profile of the applicant. The landlord selects the amount of coverage they would like. Policy prices typically range from about half to one month’s rent.

Renters pay our policy premiums. There are no fees to the landlord for coverage.
Rent Coverage is our Lease Guarantee surety product that functions substantially similar to insurance, helping landlords protect their rental income. If, for any reason, the renter is unable to pay their rent, we will cover the loss within the parameters of the policy terms. All you have to do is invite a renter to apply before they sign their lease, select the coverage you’d like (the maximum number of months you’d like to be paid back if there are issues), and if the renter is approved, we’ll issue the bond. Because the renter pays the policy price, there is no cost to the landlord for the coverage to take effect.
The cost generally varies from 24% to 130% of one month’s rent, depending on a number of factors, including the length of coverage you select.
Generally, you have to provide proof that the renter vacated the property with an email communication or proof of an eviction. Claims can also be filed at the end of a lease if the renter hasn’t yet vacated. Claims are typically paid within 3-5 days of receipt of the required information. Detailed procedures for filing a claim are provided in the Lease Rental Bonds General Terms and Conditions.
No, your renters will provide documentation. After you invite your prospective tenant to apply for coverage, they will be prompted to complete an application online, where they will upload their documents and provide permission to run a soft credit check. For most renters, we only need a copy of government-issued ID.

Eviction courts may interpret a bond payout as a rent payment, making it harder to legally evict a problem renter. This rule serves to protect you from that.
