Jetty, the financial services company on a mission to make renting a home more affordable and accessible, announced an expanded partnership with Morgan Properties, a national real estate investment and management company with over 95,000 units across the country, to introduce their flagship product, Jetty Deposit, to Morgan Properties residents.
Morgan Properties was seeking a partner to help them attract new renters without taking on additional financial risk. Instead of offering move-in concessions, such as zero-dollar security deposits, they found a deposit alternative to be the best solution for their portfolio. With Jetty Deposit, Morgan Properties scores a win-win for both sides of the lease—their renters save meaningful cash at move-in and Morgan Properties gets increased protection against property damage or lost rent.
Rather than requiring renters to lock up their hard-earned cash in a security deposit, Jetty Deposit dramatically lowered upfront move-in costs for their renters while providing financial protection for Morgan Properties. Jetty Deposit is now available at over 300 Morgan Properties communities.
"All too often, security deposits are a financial burden for our prospective residents and can be a major hurdle to lease signing. Our team is always seeking new, innovative solutions, like Jetty's security deposit alternative, to make renting with Morgan Properties an exceptional experience," said Jason Morgan, Principal and President of Morgan Properties Special Situations. "Our partnership with Jetty helps protect our bottom line, streamline our leasing operations, and provides savings and convenience for our residents."
"Nearly 70% of U.S. renters have less than $1,000 in savings, and cash-based security deposits can put tremendous strain. That's why the largest property owners and managers in the country rely on Jetty Deposit and our suite of products to make renting a home more affordable and flexible", said Mike Rudoy, Jetty's Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Morgan Properties shares in our mission to reduce the financial barriers of renting. We couldn't be more excited to add Morgan as our latest partner in our mission."

Specialist rental accounting and management platform, Landlord Studio has announced the launch of a fully-automated expense management solution for real estate investors, ensuring they never miss another deductible expense.
The new functionality enables Landlord Studio users to fully automate previously time-consuming and error-prone accounting tasks. The app now imports their bank transactions in near real-time and automatically matches them to scanned receipts before categorizing them properly, which radically improves accounting accuracy.
Staying on top of expenses is key to running a profitable investment portfolio - whether you have one or 100 units. By doing away with manual data entry Landlord Studio makes keeping accurate and up-to-date financial records easy, giving investors complete oversight of their finances throughout the financial year.
When paired with Landlord Studio’s real estate specific reports, such as the Schedule E report (Form 1040), the new app enables investors to both reduce their end-of-year accounting task list and file a more accurate tax return. As a result, investors that use Landlord Studio are able to find more than $500 per property each year in additional deductions, whilst simultaneously saving hours or even days of admin time.
Charles Chan, CEO of Landlord Studio said, “This new bank feeds technology sets the standard for income and expense management and is proving to be hugely popular with landlords in all markets. It radically simplifies the process of tracking expenses and is integrated with Xero, to make tax time super easy for accountants too.”
About Landlord Studio

In business since 2014, Landlord Studio is used to manage more than 40,000+ properties across the US and UK and is growing fast thanks to its full suite of property management functionality that includes online rent payment, Xero integration, tenant screening and property maintenance.
