Applicants Must Submit an Individual Application

At this time, an individual application is required for each individual who is 18 years or older and who will be living at the property. Fair Housing laws also require that all applicants are treated equally, regardless of familial status.

Please note that each applicant must use a unique email address. Here are some tips on leases with multiple tenants for you to utilize.

Why an Individual Application is Needed

The reason for this is that each application/screening report is tied to an individual's Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), allowing you to receive and view screening report information such as credit history, rental history, and eviction history.

Submitting Your Application

When your lead is submitting an application, please make sure that they submit accurate and up-to-date information, including the SSN or ITIN, and be sure they list any other person wanting to occupy the property.

Please keep in mind we encrypt the SSN or ITIN and send it directly to TransUnion for verification. We are not able to provide the SSN or ITIN for any reason; this is encrypted information and is not available to TurboTenant employees or landlord users.

Next Steps

Once an applicant has submitted their application, you will receive a notification allowing you to review it and then "Accept" or "Reject" the application!


FAQ:

Q: Can my spouse or partner and I submit through the same rental application?

A: No, each applicant must submit a separate rental application. While you can list co-applicants, anyone over the age of 18 is required to complete their own individual application.
