Whether you operate dozens of rental properties or just one, all the work that goes into managing a rental business can get overwhelming. From bigger-picture issues like handling maintenance requests to recurring tasks like collecting rent, property management can be challenging to keep up with.
And even if you use some tools, like spreadsheets or accounting software, juggling all of those different programs can pose its own set of problems. Luckily, TurboTenant can help.
We combine all features of rental property management into one easy-to-use platform, where you can take care of everything from rental marketing, tenant screening, and lease management to rent collection and tenant turnover. You can even handle your tenants’ property maintenance requests without the need for other software.
To help you get started with TurboTenant, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about our software so you can learn more about top-rated features and additional perks. Let’s get into it.
TurboTenant is a free, fully integrated digital platform that addresses all rental property management needs. Our software streamlines the entire rental lifecycle, encompassing rental property marketing, lease management, and the termination of a tenancy to initiate the rental process anew.
As of 2025, more than 750,000 landlords trust TurboTenant to help efficiently manage their rental property portfolios. And as complicated as rental property management can be, landlords with portfolios and experience at all levels can benefit from using TurboTenant’s features.
TurboTenant makes it easy for experienced and first-time landlords alike to market their rental properties. Our rental advertising feature allows you to upload listings across multiple highly rated websites, including Realtor.com and Apartments.com, with a single click.
Rental listings on partner sites appear the same as other listings on the same site, aside from a note stating that TurboTenant manages the property. Automatic, seamless rental advertising across dozens of platforms helps you reach more interested tenants without having to spend time on manual rental marketing.
And speaking of time savings, landlords can also use our AI-powered description generator to simplify the process of creating unique descriptions for each rental unit.
TurboTenant’s rental advertising feature continues to assist landlords after they’ve listed a property. Landlords can manage leads, communicate with potential renters who are interested in the property, and even provide customized pre-screening questions to get the ball rolling on the rental application process.
Scheduling in-person rental tours is also a breeze with TurboTenant. The software has everything you need to inform renters of preferred tour times and confirm availability both for you and your prospective tenants.
Landlords who use TurboTenant can send, receive, and manage rental applications entirely online. You can customize rental applications to suit each of your properties and cover questions about emotional support animals and service animals to ensure legal compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Since TurboTenant has a fully functional mobile app, tenants can fill out and submit applications from anywhere, at any time. After receiving the applications, landlords can screen tenants via Rent Butter and receive detailed credit, criminal, and eviction reports within five minutes or less.
With a Premium membership, landlords can also verify tenants’ income against the information supplied in the application.
These fast and accurate reports will help you find the most qualified and reliable tenants possible, allowing you to sign leases and welcome new renters with confidence. Oh, and all screening costs are passed along to the tenant, meaning that landlords can use this feature essentially for free.
Yes, TurboTenant enables landlords to generate and manage lease agreements easily. We offer state-specific lease templates that qualified lawyers have reviewed, so you can rest assured that your lease agreement will be fully compliant with all requirements and regulations. This way, you can ensure that you’re legally protected in the event of any tenant disputes.
TurboTenant’s Premium membership also allows landlords to collect unlimited e-signatures. But the free and the Pro memberships share some of these perks, such as the ability to add lease addendums and provide tenants with digital reports on the property’s condition.
These features will prove incredibly useful for DIY landlords who want to handle all aspects of the lease management process online. On the whole, landlords can expect to save valuable time and effort in renting out a property to qualified tenants.
With TurboTenant, landlords can easily collect rent online every month. Our free rent collection feature allows tenants to conveniently pay rent via ACH direct deposit or by credit or debit card. For peace of mind, tenants can even set up AutoPay to quash any possibility of forgetting a rent payment.
Meanwhile, landlords can use TurboTenant to send automated rent payment reminders, further preventing late payments. However, if these issues arise, TurboTenant will automatically charge a late rent fee to tenants, allowing landlords to avoid potential confrontations.
As TurboTenant utilizes highly secure payment processing technology, both landlords and tenants can rest assured that rent payments are directed to the intended recipient. Last but not least, TurboTenant will automatically report on-time rent payments to credit bureaus to help your tenants build credit.
All of these helpful details add up to make TurboTenant’s rent collection feature one of the most effective in the rental property management business. “The best things are that it’s free and it sends automatic rent reminders,” one landlord says. “It is simple, and tenants pay more timely!”
Since TurboTenant is a comprehensive, all-in-one platform for rental management, landlords will find numerous other tools at their disposal.
There’s maintenance request tracking software that will help you stay on top of different repairs from request to completion and internal messaging with tenants to centralize communications in one place.
Detailed rental accounting and expense tracking will keep landlords up to date on rental finances, which can be especially helpful when tax season rolls around.
These additional tools will fully cover all of your rental property management needs, streamlining the experience for both landlords and tenants. With everything in one place, landlords can more easily stay organized and keep track of the individual needs of their rental properties.
If that weren’t reason enough to use TurboTenant, landlords can download our dedicated mobile app to access all of these tools and effectively manage their rental properties, no matter where they might be in the world.
Believe it or not, yes! All of TurboTenant’s core features, including rent collection, tenant communication, and rental advertising, are 100% free for landlords to use. Certain elements, such as our detailed tenant background checks, are covered by the renters themselves.
There are no hidden fees or required subscriptions that appear later on. However, if you have a larger rental portfolio, consider upgrading to a Pro or Premium TurboTenant membership that will get you access to optional add-ons and bonuses.
Premium members have access to the most features, including income verification and unlimited e-signature capabilities. However, Pro members also gain access to perks like lease agreement addendums, unlimited state-specific lease agreements, and expedited rent payouts.
Because of its impressive suite of features, TurboTenant head and shoulders above similar property management platforms like Doorloop and Buildium. Even other so-called “free” property management programs often charge fees further down the line or require paying for a subscription to use most of their features.
Landlords (and their tenants, for that matter) can start using TurboTenant in a matter of minutes. We’ll briefly walk you through the process here.
First, sign up for a free account and create your first rental property listings right away. Once renters start to show interest in your rental, you can take advantage of all the other features we’ve talked about here and use TurboTenant for screening applicants, generating and managing lease agreements, and collecting rent payments.
Unlike other property management software, TurboTenant is a fully integrated platform that allows landlords to address all—and we mean all—aspects of rental property management in one convenient location.
Tenants can also benefit from using TurboTenant, and happy renters will translate to more reliable rental income for you.
TurboTenant is easy to use and will save you invaluable time and money in the long run. Our software delivers property management results worthy of a professional, all while saving you the costs of employing a property manager.
