TurboTenant gives you two easy options to stop accepting new rental applications for your property:

Option 1: Turn Off Marketing

Turning off marketing removes your listing from third-party websites (like Realtor.com and Rent.com) and stops new applications from coming in. This will remove your listing from all marketing sites and pause application submissions.


Option 2: Turn Off Application Acceptance (While Keeping Your Listing Live)

If you still want your listing visible online but don’t want to receive new applications, the easiest way you can turn off application acceptance in your listing settings:

  1. Go to the Properties tab, select your property (has to be actively published)

  2. Click on Edit Listing

  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page

  4. Within the Apply Button section, toggle Accepting Applications to Off.

Your property will still be visible on listing sites, but renters won’t be able to submit applications.


Start Accepting Applications Again

You can turn marketing or application acceptance back on at any time by following the steps below:

Go to the Properties tab, select your property (has to be actively published)

  1. Click on Edit Listing

  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page

  3. Within the Apply Button section, toggle Accepting Applications to On.


It's worth noting:

  • When you turn on the online marketing option for a property, the property will automatically begin accepting applications.

  • If you stop accepting applications for a property, the property's marketing will automatically be turned off. It takes about 48 hours for the listing to be removed from the third-party listing sites we post to.
