“Surety bonds are much more sensitive to market fluctuations because they collect much less premium relative to LeaseLock. Many surety bond providers have been paused by their reinsurance carriers. Meanwhile, we’re continuing to expand our footprint and are thrilled to add Olive Tree to our client roster.”
Olive Tree is a New York-based, private real estate investment firm focused on the acquisition, reposition, and management of multifamily communities in dynamically growing markets, including Texas and Georgia.
“With COVID-19’s impact on the rental housing industry, it’s more important than ever that operators offer an affordable move-in experience for residents while also protecting themselves from potential rent loss,” said Ian Bel, managing partner for Olive Tree. “LeaseLock enables us to do exactly that. It’s clear LeaseLock has a stronger, more sustainable lease insurance product relative to surety bonds—many of which were turned off in this environment.”
LeaseLock powers a modern lease experience with insurance technology. Instead of paying for a security deposit or surety bond, renters pay a small, monthly deposit waiver fee that generates over $5,000 in coverage for the property on every lease.
“We’re honored to help Olive Tree as they navigate the turbulence,” said Ed Wolff, CRO of LeaseLock. “Surety bonds are much more sensitive to market fluctuations because they collect much less premium relative to LeaseLock. Many surety bond providers have been paused by their reinsurance carriers. Meanwhile, we’re continuing to expand our footprint and are thrilled to add Olive Tree to our client roster.”
