What is a deposit guarantee?
A deposit guarantee is an alternative to a cash deposit as security for rent when moving in. The tenant concludes a guarantee contract with a bank or an insurance company. The respective guarantor guarantees the landlord the payment of the deposit amount, e.g. for damages or rent arrears. The tenant is released from his obligation to pay a cash deposit.

Deposit guarantee, deposit insurance and cash deposit in comparison
The three most common types of rental collateral in Germany are: Cash deposits, deposit guarantees and deposit insurance. In the case of cash deposits, the tenant deposits the deposit amount in a deposit account of his landlord. With bail bonds and bail insurance, this obligation is waived, and the rental security is guaranteed by the surety bond of the respective guarantor. Many landlords prefer deposit guarantees from a bank compared to deposit insurance.

Payment for the Getmomo guarantee does not start immediately after the commitment and conclusion of the contract, but only from the agreed start of the rental period. This distinguishes Getmomo from all other providers of security deposit insurance on the German market. This saves you money even before you move in.
There is no minimum contract period for Getmomo deposit protection. The contract can be terminated at any time or is automatically terminated by the return of the deposit by your landlord or property manager. There is no minimum term of 12 or 24 months with Getmomo and the respective partner banks.
In most cases, yes. The Getmomo guarantee is collected on a monthly basis for all deposits below €6,000. This means that you only have a low monthly charge instead of a high annual payment as with most security deposit insurance policies. What’s more, you only pay from the actual move-in date and not as soon as you sign the contract, as is the case with all insurance policies.
No, the Getmomo guarantee is a bank guarantee and not a security deposit insurance. This means that in the event of a claim, it is a bank and not an insurance company that secures possible claims by your landlord. Many landlords do not accept security deposit insurance due to cumbersome redemption conditions. In most cases, a bank guarantee on first demand is accepted alongside a cash deposit. This is exactly what Getmomo offers you with the Getmomo guarantee: a simple bank guarantee on first demand.
The maximum number of persons per application is two, both of whom must meet the minimum requirements and be named in the rental agreement.
