Overview

What is Lula?

Lula is an award-winning platform focusing on providing responsive rental property maintenance for rental property owners and their tenants. They troubleshoot with you and, if needed, will send out a vetted Pro to do the work.

How it works

  1. To get started, follow our step-by-step Maintenance Request Guide to submit a maintenance request.

  2. The process after submission may vary depending on your landlord's settings.

    1. Autosend: If your landlord has chosen to automatically send all maintenance requests to Lula, you'll receive a text message from a Lula Expert shortly after you submit the request. These experts are seasoned professionals from Lula's operations team, possessing backgrounds in property management, contractor services, project management, and customer support. The Lula Expert will guide you through the troubleshooting process.

    2. Manual send: If your landlord has chosen to manually send maintenance requests to Lula, one of two scenarios will occur:

      1. Your landlord may directly contact you to address the maintenance request.

      2. Alternatively, a Lula Expert may reach out to you if the landlord decides to involve Lula in handling the request.

  3. If the Lula Expert has assisted you with troubleshooting and determined that a Pro visit is required, you'll be asked to provide your availability for scheduling.

    1. The Lula Expert will then identify the most suitable Pro in your area and dispatch them to your location.

  4. Lula Experts will handle communication with your landlord regarding the cost and estimate.

  5. Once the work is done, TurboTenant will charge the Landlord directly for the maintenance work.
