TurboTenant: rental management software and services for landlords

TurboTenant is a U.S. platform aimed at landlords of rental homes that combines software tools with outsourced management services. The company presents itself as a resource for landlords who self-manage their properties or who prefer to delegate day-to-day operations. According to its website data, more than one million landlords use the platform, which totals more than two million units and twelve million renters, with over $6 billion in rent managed for landlords.

Two options: self-management with software or full-service management

The offering is structured in two ways. The first is software for landlords who want to be involved in operations: it allows them to attract prospects, screen tenants, draft leases, and collect rent. The second is a full-service management option in which a team handles the rental for a flat monthly fee, with no commission on rent and no payment until the landlord gets paid. The company describes this second option as an alternative to traditional property manager fees.

Software features

The feature set includes rental advertising distributed across more than 25 sites to attract qualified renters, rental applications, background screening with credit checks, eviction history, and criminal background checks, automated rent collection with autopay and late fees, state-specific lease agreements with e-signature and storage, online maintenance request management, and income and expense accounting by property. The company states that core features—advertising, tenant screening, and rent collection—are free for landlords, and that its revenue model is based on what renters pay for screening or for submitting their rent payments.

Management and tenant placement services

In addition to software, TurboTenant offers tenant placement services that cover marketing, showings, and screening; professional property photos included; self-guided showings for pre-qualified renters; maintenance coordination with vendor sourcing and repair management with no markups; and renter communication at every touchpoint, with visibility for the landlord. Full rental management is offered for a flat monthly fee.

Resources for landlords and renters

The platform publishes educational materials for landlords: tools and calculators, videos, podcasts, and guides on landlord-tenant laws. It includes a free AI-powered lease agreement audit tool that analyzes the document's legal compliance in about fifteen seconds. For renters, it offers a property search, resources, and a dedicated mobile app, as well as mobile apps for landlords.

Coverage and trust

The company states partnerships with Stripe and TransUnion for secure handling of renter and landlord data, with 256-bit encryption at rest and in transit. Its managed services page mentions California, Colorado, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The company identifies itself as TurboTenant, LLC and notes its origin in Colorado.
