Turbotenant

TurboTenant is an all-in-one property management platform purpose-built for independent landlords and small-portfolio real estate investors. Founded in 2015 and based in Fort Collins, Colorado, the platform now serves over 900,000 landlords and 12 million renters across all 50 US states. TurboTenant covers the complete rental lifecycle from marketing vacant units and screening tenants to creating leases, collecting rent, managing maintenance requests, and tracking finances — all from a single dashboard or its 4.9-star rated mobile app.

What makes TurboTenant uniquely appealing for small landlords is its generous free-forever plan combined with flat-rate paid plans that never charge per unit. Whether you manage 1 door or 100 doors, the subscription cost stays the same — a pricing model that fundamentally changes the economics of property management software for independent operators. The platform partners with Rent Butter for tenant screening and Rentometer for rent estimates, giving landlords access to institutional-quality data tools at consumer-friendly prices.

Key Features: Rental listing syndication to over 28 sites including Zillow and Apartments.com and Facebook Marketplace with listings created in under two minutes, tenant screening with full credit and background and criminal and eviction reports powered by Rent Butter at no cost to landlords, state-specific lease agreements for all 50 states with built-in e-signature eliminating the need for DocuSign or external tools, automated rent collection with ACH and credit card payments and customizable late fees and autopay and payment receipts, Rentometer-powered rent estimate calculator helping landlords price units competitively based on local market data, maintenance request management with photo uploads and status tracking and communication threads, built-in rental accounting similar to QuickBooks but designed specifically for rental property finances with income and expense tracking, tenant communication portal for messaging between landlords and tenants within the platform, lead management and application tracking with customizable pre-screening questions, document storage for leases and receipts and property documents, mobile app for both landlords and tenants available on iOS and Android with full feature access, and property performance reporting with financial dashboards and tax-ready documentation.

Pricing: TurboTenant offers a Free plan that includes property listings, tenant screening (paid by applicant), applications, lead management, rent collection, maintenance management, and messaging — all at no cost for unlimited properties. The Premium plan is $149.99 per year (approximately $12.50/month) or $19.99 per month and adds state-specific lease agreements, unlimited e-signatures, landlord-paid screening, priority support, expedited rent payouts, customizable applications, and waived ACH fees. Both plans support unlimited properties with no per-unit charges. Tenant screening reports cost $45 per applicant when paid by the tenant, or are included at no per-report cost on the Premium plan when paid by the landlord.

Use Cases: First-time landlords renting out a single property who need simple and affordable tools to find and screen tenants and collect rent professionally, small portfolio investors managing 5 to 50 rental units who want institutional-quality management tools without enterprise-level pricing, self-managing landlords transitioning from spreadsheets and paper leases to a digital platform for efficiency and legal compliance, house hackers and BRRRR strategy investors who need to manage tenant relationships alongside their investment tracking, out-of-state landlords who rely on digital tools and mobile apps to manage properties remotely, and real estate investors scaling their portfolios who benefit from flat-rate pricing that does not increase with each additional unit.
