TurboTenant
TurboTenant operates from Fort Collins and Denver, Colorado, providing a vertical software platform for do-it-yourself residential landlords. The firm states it serves over 1 million landlords, a base that skews heavily toward operators with fewer than 50 doors. The founders have not been named publicly; the about page highlights a distributed leadership team including a VP of Marketing, a Director of Engineering, and a VP of People Operations, suggesting a post-founder operational structure. The platform covers the full rental lifecycle: marketing listings across third-party aggregator sites like Apartments.com and Realtor.com, tenant screening that includes financial, criminal, and eviction histories, state-specific lease generation with e-signatures, online rent collection, and integrated rental accounting that syncs payments and tracks expenses. TurboTenant claims landlords average 28 leads per listing. Revenue comes primarily from tenant screening fees — the firm buys reports in bulk and keeps the spread — and from ACH rent-payment fees waived in the Premium tier. The geographic footprint is United States-wide, supported by a Colorado-based support team. Team size and total capital deployment are not disclosed. The firm maintains offices in Fort Collins and Denver and has recently emphasized its "Autopilot" product, which layers a managed service on top of the software for landlords who want tenant placement and day-to-day management outsourced for a flat rate. In September 2025, the firm promoted Djordje Petrovic to Director of Engineering, rotating him from the mobile application team. Other recent personnel moves include Raj Karyampudi's promotion to Group Product Manager in 2024. TurboTenant's structural differentiator is its free-for-landlord model: the core suite — advertising, applications, screening, and rent collection — carries no subscription cost, with the firm earning its margin from the tenant side. This inverts the typical SaaS pricing playbook and creates a scaled, transaction-based business that grows as its landlords add doors rather than as it adds seats.

Frequently asked questions
How does TurboTenant make money if the core software is free for landlords?
TurboTenant collects and retains the tenant screening fee when applicants pay for background checks. The firm purchases screening reports in bulk at a discount, earning a spread on each transaction. On the free tier, TurboTenant also collects a fee on each rent payment processed. The Premium tier waives ACH fees, generating revenue through an optional subscription that provides faster rent disbursements and priority phone support.
What does TurboTenant's Autopilot service do that the free software does not?
Autopilot adds a human-managed layer for landlords who want to offload tenant placement and day-to-day property management tasks. The firm's specialists handle the busywork using the same underlying technology, while landlords retain visibility. Pricing is a flat rate rather than a percentage of rent, which the firm positions against traditional property managers who typically charge 8-10% of monthly rent.
Does TurboTenant manage properties directly or hold any real estate on its own balance sheet?
No. TurboTenant is a software and services provider. The firm does not own or manage any rental properties and does not make tenant-approval decisions. All leasing decisions remain with the individual landlord using the platform.
What tenant screening components does TurboTenant provide?
The screening report covers financial, criminal, and eviction history. TurboTenant states it asks the right questions and provides insight into a potential tenant's background, with the screening fee paid by the applicant, not the landlord.
Which listing sites does TurboTenant syndicate to, and how quickly do listings appear?
Listings are syndicated across dozens of third-party sites; TurboTenant specifically names Apartments.com, Realtor.com, Rent.com, and ApartmentList.com. The property appears on TurboTenant's own site immediately upon marketing activation, while third-party sites update within 48 hours on their own schedules.
