From sensationalist news to villains in pop culture, landlords get a bad rap. While they’re often portrayed as greedy power-hungry capitalists, the truth is far more nuanced. Roughly 1 in 14 Americans owns at least one rental property, and most of them just want to provide their tenant a great place to live while they make the most of their investment.
TurboTenant fights negative perceptions by providing software to smooth out the wrinkles that plague landlords across the country.

Modern Complexities

On any given day, a landlord is balancing communication between tenants and handymen, navigating a dozen tools, and tracking an endless stream of finances. With TurboTenant’s simple platform, they can market their rental, screen tenants, create state-specific lease agreements, and accept rent in one place. Landlords no longer have to individually post to each listing site, and they don’t have to fumble around in payment apps or cart cash to the bank.

For other complex and unique challenges, they’ve partnered with experts that can help. Maintenance can be handled by Lula, insurance can be provided by Steadily, and accounting can be tackled with REI Hub. In the worst-case rental scenario, their partner EZ Evict USA can even simplify the eviction process.

Utilizing Technology

Real estate is rife with opportunities for integrating the right technology. TurboTenant’s Lease Agreement AI Audit tool allows landlords to upload their lease agreement and immediately get a rating of the good, the bad, and the lacking parts of their lease. There’s also an AI-powered listing description tool within the TurboTenant platform, which helps a property get more qualified leads while complying with the Fair Housing Act.
Using a combination of AI and a manual review from their CX team, TurboTenant fights rental fraud to give both landlords and tenants peace of mind that their rental experience will remain transparent and accessible. Message histories are stored in the platform alongside maintenance requests, lease agreements, and condition reports, so that anyone can access them at any time.

Education as a Core Benefit

One of the most daunting parts of real estate investing is knowing what you don’t know. Every state has different rental laws, insurance can be overwhelming, and even the most prepared landlord may end up with a nightmare tenant.
TurboTenant helps its users navigate the choppy waters of landlording by providing hundreds of free educational resources. Through ebooks, webinars, blogs, podcasts, and videos, TurboTenant has tackled topics from emotional support animals and financing to Section 8 housing and security cameras.

“Education empowers our users to succeed in their rental business,” said Jonathan Forisha, TurboTenant’s Director of Education and Community. “With our industry-leading software and comprehensive educational content, our landlords are equipped to provide a superior rental experience for every one of their tenants.”

By building solutions for the entire lifecycle of a real estate investor, TurboTenant’s technology is improving the rental experience for hundreds of thousands of landlords and their tenants across the country.
