TurboTenant Pro Tip

• A prospective renter can easily upload documents that are included with the online rental application (e.g., driver's license, pay stubs, new hire letter, etc.). There is no limit to the number of uploads a tenant can include with their application.
• A landlord can easily edit the renter's application after it is received. To update any information click on the Application Tab and then click "edit." This is helpful if information is missing or there are changes to the original application.
