The Zero Deposit Option Loved By Tenants and Landlords

 

Freedom From Deposits

Saving for a deposit to rent a home can be challenging for many tenants. To help lift the financial distress of individuals and families, Rumah-i is partnering with BlueDuck, a Fintech company, to develop a Zero Deposit scheme for our tenants and landlords.

The Zero Deposit Insurance solution helps tenants rent a home with no deposit, saving them thousands of ringgits in upfront costs. Instead, the tenant pays a small yearly insurance fee.

Landlords can also have peace of mind; signing up for the no deposit scheme allows their property to be rented out faster than their competitors.

What is Zero Deposit?

Traditionally, renters are required to pay their landlords two months of rental deposit, one month of utility deposit and one month of rental fees in advance before moving in.

However, given the current economic situation, it has become increasingly difficult for renters to obtain enough funds to cover the initial deposit.

This is where the Zero Deposit Insurance solution comes in. Tenants can rent a home with no deposit and only pay for the rental, insurance and estimated agreement fee. Let’s take a look below:

We’re solving renters’ biggest financial problems; the Zero Deposit Insurance scheme makes renting faster and more affordable for tenants.

Good For Tenants, Great For Landlords

Renters can enjoy reduced financial strain and other numerous benefits the Zero Deposit Insurance Solution has to offer.

However, they’re not alone – landlords too can benefit from the Zero Deposit scheme. Our survey shows landlords offering zero deposit will have higher tenant demand, reduced void periods and a simplified rental process.

Attract Tenants Faster

By offering Zero Deposit renting, more people will be interested in your property. It broadens your customer range as many people prefer a zero deposit to the traditional security deposit offer.

Reduced Void Periods

With more tenants interested in zero deposit option properties, landlords enjoy quicker turnarounds between tenancy agreements, resulting in extra visibility for their rental properties and reduced void periods.

Easy Rental Process

The Rumah-i app is an accessible and secure home rental platform for landlords and tenants. The entire renting process can be done on the app, from digital tenancy, identity authentication, tenant’s credit assessment, automated rental collection, tenancy manager, insurance… You name it, we have it!

How Does It Work?

At Rumah-i, we aim to create sustainable value for property owners, tenants and strategic stakeholders in Malaysia. Through our collaboration with BlueDuck, a company that shares our goals, you know you will be in safe hands.
