Use Case
Rental Deposit Escrow: Neither Side Can Touch the Money
Security deposits shouldn't disappear into a landlord's bank account. MyPact locks rental deposits in escrow that neither party can access alone. Transparent, tamper-proof, and releasable in seconds when the lease ends.
How Rental Deposit Escrow Works
Fair for tenants. Reliable for landlords. Enforced by code.
Create the lease escrow
Landlord sets up an agreement with the deposit amount, lease term, and release conditions. Invite the tenant by email.
Tenant deposits funds
The tenant deposits USDC into escrow. Funds are locked — the landlord cannot touch them without the tenant signing off.
Move-out and release
At lease end, both parties sign off to release the deposit. If there are deductions, adjust the amount and both approve. No court needed for straightforward cases.
Built for Every Rental Scenario
Apartment Rentals
Replace the traditional security deposit check with on-chain escrow. Tenants see their funds are safe; landlords know the deposit is guaranteed and liquid.
Property Management
Manage deposits across multiple units from a single dashboard. Each unit gets its own escrow agreement with a clear audit trail.
Deposit Disputes
When landlord and tenant disagree on deductions, the funds stay locked until both parties reach agreement — or escalate to a neutral guardian for resolution.
Short-Term & Vacation Rentals
Hold a damage deposit for short-term stays. Automatic release after check-out sign-off means guests get their money back faster.
