Are you looking to move in a lead without completing the application and paying for the screening process?
The short answer is no. The reason for this is that it's always recommended that leads complete an application and screening report process before moving in as a tenant. While you're able to manually add them as a lead, they are not able to skip the application and screening report process.
The reason for this is that the application and screening report provides valuable information about your potential tenant including their rental history, credit history, criminal background, and eviction records. This process allows you to see an in-depth view of an individual's history.
It is highly recommended so you can safeguard your property investment and ensure you have a trustworthy tenant who will pay rent on time and fit the property.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
I recently purchased a property that already had tenants. How can I add them as tenants in my account?
Great question! If you inherited tenants after purchasing a property from another landlord, you can add them manually as a tenant. The new Landlord does not have to screen pre-existing tenants unless it is outlined in the lease agreement. The new Landlord has to uphold the terms of the existing lease. You should also reference the existing lease and check with your local landlord-tenant laws to ensure that you follow the law.
The Lead is a family friend and I already know them. Can I bypass the screening report and application process?
TurboTenant recommends screening everyone including family and friends. Once an application and screening report process is purchased you can then move them in as a tenant.
Can I add someone manually as an applicant without having them apply?
No, at this time, you're not able to manually add an individual to your account as an applicant without the lead completing a screening report and application process.
