Rental deposit escrow for residential tenancies in Ireland: deposits are held until move-in, giving tenants greater peace of mind and landlords 0.5% cashback, subject to the applicable terms.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Raffaele, the maker of DepositSafe.
I built this because I lost a rental deposit. I'd handed over a month's rent to someone I'd just met, and when it came time to get it back… silence. No neutral party, no recourse, just "trust me." If you've ever rented, you probably know the feeling.
So I did the thing engineers do when something annoys them enough — I built the fix. DepositSafe holds the deposit in neutral escrow until move-out, with KYC/AML checks on both sides and a clear, evidence-based process if there's a dispute. The money sits with neither the tenant nor the landlord — it sits safe.
I'm a software engineer and I built the whole thing myself: the escrow payments, the identity/compliance checks, the web app and the mobile app. It's not a mockup — it runs.
I'd genuinely love your feedback: Does the escrow model make sense to you? What would make you trust it with your deposit? Renters and landlords especially — tear it apart 🙏
I just want to find a place in Dublin without worrying about losing my deposit to a scam. 😩 Having a reliable way to connect with genuine landlords would make the whole process so much easier. I’d definitely give this app a try!
We’ve seen so many scams on Facebook, with people taking your deposit and then never responding again! Moving to Ireland for the first time is challenging enough, and finding a place you can truly call home isn’t easy, especially in a city like Dublin. At least this app helps build trust by connecting people directly with the person they’re sending their rent and deposit to.
