Security deposits have long been the standard form of landlords’ security against property damage and unpaid rent. However, security deposits represent an inefficient use of renters’ capital and an administrative burden for landlords. Garentii, a Munich-based insurtech, provides an insurance-based alternative, offering security deposit replacement insurance within existing workflows when a lease is signed.
