Full Security Deposit Management

Managing security deposits can be complex and time-consuming. Roost Full Deposit Management streamlines the entire process—from payment and banking to refunds—saving your staff valuable time and allowing them to focus on higher-value tasks.

Payment and holding

Residents can choose from multiple payment options and share payments with roommates. Roost posts payments to the ledger and notifies your team, with fraud protection, NSF shield, and charge-back management included.

Banking options include FBO accounts and escrow for your property.

Compliance peace of mind

Our SmartCompliance process reviews your property by jurisdiction to advise you on process including payments, holding/co-mingling, interest regulation, notification requirements and more helping you stay compliant. Automatic notifications keep your team updated on refund deadlines.

Promote financial wellness

Empower residents to track their refund and interest details with ease, and choose the fastest refund option, including split payments. This not only improves their cash flow and financial well-being but also simplifies the deposit process for property managers, leading to higher resident satisfaction.

Flexible service configuration by property

We understand that different properties require different processes. At Roost, you can customize services to meet your specific needs. From deposit hold management and banking to interest accrual, 1099 issuance, unapplied credit payouts, and integrating with security deposit alternatives, we've got you covered.

Support beyond the refund

Refund automation means we handle all the details for you—resident inquiries, lost or uncashed checks, stopped payments and address changes. With Roost, you're in good hands—we take care of it all.
