Renters Right Act gives boost for deposit replacements
Summary
Deposit replacement provider Reposit reports strong first-half 2026 growth, which it attributes in part to the Renters Rights Act and wider demand for risk-managed renting solutions. The company says sales rose 58% year-on-year overall, with Build to Rent sales up 103%, alongside increased agent adoption and new platform integrations.
