Select SafeLease during your application. Upon approval, activate your insurance with your first premium payment instead of a full security deposit.
Once your first month's rent and insurance premium are processed, collect your keys and move into your new home—no stress, no delays, no large deposit.
Use Zereba's inventory feature to document your unit's move-in condition. This crucial step helps prevent disputes at the end of your lease.
When it's time to leave, a final inspection will determine if there are claims. If no damage or rent default claims exist, your SafeLease insurance simply ends with no additional costs.
