You can also message the landlord before applying to ask any questions you may have about the property. This is especially useful to find the status of the listing for rent on this and if you're interested in scheduling a showing before applying!

Below is an example of the contact form that you can submit to the landlord.

To apply, you'll want to click on Apply Now which is typically on the right-hand side of the page along with the rent amount including the Security Deposit and Lease Terms.

If you know the address of the property or have the TurboTenant property ID number, you can click here to search for the full listing on TurboTenant.

To locate by property address, you'll want to enter the street address in the search bar. To locate by Property ID, click "Have a property ID (ie. 23540) instead" beneath the search by the address bar.

It is important to note, we do not have a general search. All of our rentals are listed on third-party websites like Realtor.com, Apartments.com, etc. Click here for a complete list of where you'll find TurboTenant listings.

If you were invited to apply by the landlord via text, email, or both, you would have received a notification with the application link. The rest of the steps are to follow.

As you start the application process, you'll go through a series of steps in the application process, starting with creating your account.

After clicking APPLY NOW, you'll be prompted to create your account by entering your email address and creating a password.
