About LeaseLock
LeaseLock helps the world find home. We are transforming the rental housing market for the better—making leasing faster, simpler and more affordable.
Powered by insurance technology, we are working to eliminate expensive security deposits across the country. Renters pay $19 a month, which provides up to $5000 in coverage for the property on every lease. Renters save thousands of dollars at move-in while properties drive more traffic and close more leases.
We are the only nationwide InsureTech product of our kind, and we’re growing quickly. LeaseLock has insured over $300 million in leases, and has secured over $25 million in venture financing from leading funds including Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures.
We are headquartered a few blocks from the ocean in sunny Marina Del Rey, and are walkable to restaurants, bars and the beach.
