In this episode of Peter Lohmann’s Podcast, I’m joined by Janine Steiner Jovanovic, CEO of LeaseLock - a company rethinking how the multifamily industry handles security deposits, risk, and renter experience.

Janine shares how LeaseLock replaces traditional deposits with true lease insurance, protecting property owners and improving affordability for renters.

We also talk about leadership, data, and what it means to build renter-first products in a profit-driven world.

If you care about PropTech innovation, risk analytics, or the next wave of AI in property management, this one’s a must-listen.
