Greenlight Rent Joins the Bilt Neighborhood to Give Renters More Ways to Move In with Bilt Neighborhood OS

Bilt Neighborhood OS will give housing operators the option to integrate with Greenlight Rent’s deposit and guarantor solutions

Nov. 10, 2026 — Greenlight Rent, a rental housing platform helping renters access homes and property managers protect their communities, today announced a partnership with Bilt, the neighborhood commerce and rewards platform, to power the security deposit management and guarantor process with Bilt Neighborhood OS™. The partnership brings key financial steps in the rental journey into one connected resident experience, helping renters navigate move-in costs while simplifying deposit management for property teams.

Greenlight Rent works with property managers representing more than 6 million rental units and has helped renters free up more than $4 billion in upfront move-in costs. Connecting its capabilities with Bilt brings that expertise into the experience more than 8 million Bilt Members use from apartment discovery through renewal.

Bilt Neighborhood OS is an AI platform that helps businesses grow by reaching new customers and building loyalty through personalized experiences in their neighborhood. It integrates with the systems properties already use to bring property services, payments, rewards and Neighborhood Benefits™ into one connected resident experience. Through that unified layer, Bilt’s AI agents execute tasks on behalf of residents and operators across the property and Bilt’s neighborhood network of 50,000+ merchant partners, including sports venues, restaurants, fitness studios, pharmacies, retail shops and more.

With the Greenlight Rent integration, Bilt Members at participating properties will be able to manage their security deposit requirements directly within the Bilt experience, including accessing Greenlight Rent’s deposit alternatives, guarantor solutions, and loss of employment protection where available and if eligible. Property teams will be able to track completion through the integration, connecting these steps with the broader move-in process.

The integration brings together:

• More flexible move-in options: Greenlight Deposit offers an alternative to an upfront cash security deposit, while Greenlight Guarantee gives eligible applicants another way to meet lease requirements, without a personal guarantor.

• Connected deposit management: Greenlight Rent supports the collection, tracking and return of cash deposits, alongside deposit alternatives, with tools to support compliance and reporting capabilities for property teams.

• A unified resident experience: Deposit and guarantor requirements become part of the same experience residents use to complete move-in tasks, pay rent, earn rewards and access neighborhood benefits.

“Helping someone move into a home starts with making the financial requirements easier to navigate,” said Georges Clement, CEO, Greenlight Rent. “Connecting Greenlight Rent with Bilt Neighborhood OS brings our deposit and guarantor solutions directly into the resident journey, giving renters more flexibility and property teams a simpler way to manage the process.”

The partnership builds on Bilt’s nationwide network of more than 8 million members, with its platform powering one in four U.S. apartment buildings. Bilt has delivered more than $1 billion in value back to members, helping them cover housing payments, pay down student loans, book travel and more. Through Bilt’s monthly Rent Day®, residents can access bonus rewards and exclusive experiences, and play for the chance to have their rent covered through Rent Free™. Greenlight Rent extends that value to a critical moment in the housing journey: helping residents meet move-in requirements and settle into their new homes.

Built around how residents live

Bilt’s inaugural State of the Neighborhood Study, conducted with 451 Research by S&P Global, found that two-thirds of U.S. consumers do at least 80% of their everyday spending within 15 miles of home. The study also found:

• 77% of renters say rewards on housing payments would make them more likely to stay in their home long term;

• 83% of renters say one platform for everything, from rent payments to dinner reservations, would meaningfully improve their experience

“Every part of running a building should contribute to a better experience of living there, starting with move-in and extending into the neighborhood,” said Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Bilt. “By integrating Bilt Neighborhood OS with our partners’ existing technologies, like Greenlight Rent, we’re making each step easier for residents and giving property teams more time to focus on their communities.”
