Rental markets are volatile, subject to ups and downs, depending on socio-political issues and the prevalent financial conditions of the time.
A rental agreement almost always includes handing over a sum of money to either the landlord or the management company of the property. This sum of money, known as the security deposit, should in theory be used to cover any damage done to the property or cover financial losses that may arise during the tenancy. When the tenancy ends, and assuming no damage to the property has occurred, the security deposit should be handed back to the departing tenant.
However, this is not always the case. Greedy or unscrupulous landlords may withhold this money for spurious reasons, and this is where most conflicts in the rental market arise.
RxEAL is a brand new ICO that offers a blockchain-based platform to store the security deposit and also a dispute-resolution solution.
RxEAL: safeguarding tenants’ security deposits on the blockchain
Disputes between tenants and landlords are all too common occurrences. Heated arguments, strongly-worded emails, and even court cases have happened over the devolution of security deposits ever since such a thing came to exist.
With an upcoming beta, signed product pilot partners and a global team of real estate, blockchain and finance experts backing the project, #RxEAL is building a blockchain solution that will transform rental markets for good.

RxEAL introduces a blockchain solution to store a tenant’s security deposit, and ensure its return at the end of the tenancy.
How RxEAL works
Users of the RxEAL platform will generate smart contracts based upon agreed terms, which cannot be unilaterally changed by either party. Nor can any party access the funds until the end of the lease & tenancy. If a dispute does arise, RxEAL will provide an arbitration service.

Blockchain platforms dedicated to the rental market in one form or another are quite ubiquitous.
ICOs like CryptoBnB, SMARTRealty, RET, or Rentything have been operating for some time.
RxEAL does have a far more specific focus, however, which may differentiate it from the rest. RxEAL’s niche is the storage of a tenant’s security deposit & arbitrage, which is quite unique in the current market.

RxEAL offers a targeted solution for the rental market. It does not intend to tackle the whole gamut of issues surrounding this particular ecosystem, which is a smart move.
By concentrating on one single aspect of the rental environment, this ICO may carve a nice niche for itself and stand the test of time.
