Increase your chances to save money with deposit insurance
Entitlement: Convince landlords in advance.
- Free option, no liability: The entitlement is free of charge, allowing you to activate the deposit insurance at any time without financial obligation. This flexibility means you are not tied down and can look at other ways to secure your rental deposit.
- Signal reliability: Including a deposit insurance entitlement within your rental application makes it more convincing and attractive to landlords. It signals you are prepared, lowers their financial risk, and proves you are a responsible tenant.
- Simplicity and Stress-Free: Landlords can see upfront that the deposit is secured by R+V, and they have no paperwork and cash deposit to handle since everything is managed for them.

How it works.
Get your entitlement

Stand out from the competition
Because of R+V's entitlement, the landlords quickly get an overview of your financial situation without asking for a credit check. If the landlord does not want to use the deposit insurance, you do not have to continue with it.
Activate Insurance after moving in
As soon as you have moved into your new home, you can finish the rental deposit insurance and you can start saving money. You can also decide not to use the insurance with no costs.
