Security Deposit Insurance | Rhino
Rhino is a security deposit insurance solution that can be used as an alternative to receiving a security deposit from your tenants. Instead of a large upfront cash security deposit, renters pay Rhino a small monthly fee, and Rhino insures each home for the property owner in case of damages and lost rent that might occur. This makes your property more attractive and more available to tenants who might not have enough funds to pay a security deposit up-front; which makes it possible for you to fill vacancies faster.

Rhino Quick FAQS:
What does Rhino cover?
Rhino serves the property manager by paying for repairs if the renter damages the unit and protects against missed rent payments. The renter is reimbursing Rhino for some things like excessive damage or unpaid rent and Rhino acts to protect tenants from unfair or illegitimate claims by the property manager.
How much coverage is required for a policy?
The property owner and/or property manager must decide the exact dollar amount of coverage they needed on the home or apartment based on each individual applicant. For renters who do not qualify for the lease, Rhino can also act as a third-party guarantor and offer additional coverage to help them get approved.
How are tenants' quotes calculated?
Pricing is personalized for each tenant and are customized for their coverage needs. During enrollment, several factors will be factored into price calculation such as:
- Rent amount
- Lease duration (six month minimum required)
- Required coverage
- Soft credit check
- Employment
- Income
Note: Tenants pay Rhino directly for the service and there is no cost to the landlord.
