Rhino (Greenlight Rent): Features, Pricing and Integrations

Rhino now sells as Greenlight Rent. Rhino merged with Jetty in February 2025, and Greenlight Rent’s About page says the two are now “one company with one name”.

The old sayrhino.com address forwards to greenlightrent.com. Our record keeps the Rhino name, with Greenlight and Greenlight Rent as aliases.

The deposit product is Greenlight Deposit, which Greenlight describes as insurance. It sells alongside Greenlight Guarantee for guarantor requirements, Greenlight Bridge for job-loss rent cover, renters insurance and cash deposit management. The About page cites 3 million rental units and 47 of the top 100 owners and operators.

In the deposit alternatives category it sits with the insurance products. Jetty’s profile covers the merged company’s surety bond, which jetty.com still sells under the Jetty name.

Who it fits

The record tags institutional multifamily only, and the logos on Greenlight’s site are apartment operators, among them Highmark Residential, Simpson Housing and Westdale. The buyer is an operator with lease-up targets who wants an insurer to pay move-out claims. It suits one that also wants guarantor and job-loss products from the same vendor.

It fits less well for a single-family manager, since none of Greenlight’s pages names single-family or scattered-site rentals. The product is not sold in Hawaii, Montana, North Dakota or Wyoming, so a portfolio there needs a second vendor. A smaller manager on AppFolio or Buildium should start with Obligo, which names both systems.

Pricing

The renter pays. Greenlight’s partners page says there is no cost to partner properties, because its revenue comes from commissions on what renters buy.

The premium is priced per renter, paid monthly or once, and monthly plans may not be available to every renter. No figure is published.

Ask for the premium at your typical deposit amount, which renters get the monthly option, and whether the price changes at renewal. The renter still reimburses Greenlight for an approved claim, so set the resident’s total premium over an average tenancy beside the cash deposit you would have collected.

Integrations

The record carries no integrations. Greenlight’s current partners page describes a free leasing integration that flows into your current PMS workflow, without naming a system.

Older posts still on its blog do name systems. A 2021 post listed Yardi Voyager, RealPage, Entrata, Rent Manager, Salesforce and MRI, and a 2023 post announced a Yardi leasing integration. We record integrations from current pages, so ask for the list by name and see enrollment and a claim reach the resident ledger in your own system.

Limitations and questions to ask

The carrier first. Rhino New York LLC, doing business as Greenlight Rent, acts as a general agent for several carriers, rated A- or better in 13 states.

Elsewhere the policy may be written by a non-admitted excess and surplus lines carrier, and the site names none. Ask which carrier writes the policy in each of your states and whether it is admitted there.

The resident second. Greenlight’s renter page says the renter must reimburse Greenlight for the approved claim amount. Ask what the resident is told at signing, how Greenlight collects, whether the cash deposit stays an option, and what share of your applicants would qualify.

The merger third. Ask whether a new community enrolls in Greenlight Deposit or Jetty Deposit, and what happens at renewal to residents already enrolled in either.

Greenlight advertises a four-day claims process and lets a landlord set a coverage limit above the cash deposit. Ask what proof a claim needs and how resident disputes are handled.

Alternatives

Jetty is the sibling to compare first, and the Jetty and Rhino comparison sets the two products side by side.

Rhino and LeaseLock compared directly covers the other insurance product, which says it does not pursue residents through subrogation. How Rhino and Obligo differ covers the payment-on-file model.

Rhino against TheGuarantors covers the bond sold with a lease guarantee. The Rhino alternatives page sorts the rest of the category.
