We advertised our unit on ZILLOW.com and Apartments.com. The next thing we know, the same unit was advertised for much cheaper price on TurboTenant.com. We then signed up to advertise same unit for REAL PRICE, and then suddenly they blocked our account. When we told them about this scammer and their fraudulent activities, turbotenant.com becomes defensive and said to have the law enforcement contact their attorney. This is the only website that ever DOES NOT WANT to prevent scammer from using their site for illegal activities. STAY AWAY from using this site, go with more bigger and reliable websites like zillow.com or apartments.com

This is a good platform for both renters and property owners, especially if you are new to the industry, have a modest property, and are attempting to gather information to lease or looking to rent.

They are dubious, in my opinion, and there is a ruse to get you to join.

The leads strategically consider your requirements, then the prospects enter the opposite information in the pre-screen/profile.

Now you can't claim that the system wasn't practical.

In one of my cases, I responded by saying, "Thank you for your interest.
Pets under 30 pounds are considered on a case-by-case basis."

This person's screener pet information indicated that the average weight for this type of pet was 65 pounds.

That is fine; there are no problems with dogs, just not large ones that could damage the floors. The other leaders had a credit score ranging from 350 to 425, but the criteria required good credit.

Yes, it demonstrates that someone was engaged in the platform's marketing.
I understand and would not have completely rejected an applicant based solely on a credit score, even though you cannot rent a moped with that score; it is merely a starting point.

A previous lead, and soon after I advised the person to apply on this one-stop-shop website, another person from the same organization's email domain submitted another lead under a different name.
(Again, same company)...

In a previous listing, this person refused to talk on the phone hoping to get a feeling of what this person was looking for.

Finally, we scheduled to meet at the house, but the schedule kept changing, and this person never showed up.

I later removed the listing from the platform, and the only follow-up was several telephone calls if I was selling the property.

Yes, they must make money because someone had the bright idea, and as previously stated, that helps landlords and renters understand their rights and regulatory requirements regarding rentals.

It should be noted that the membership fee has recently increased from $49.00 to nearly twice that amount.

Again, if and when it works, the suspicion does not cause landlords to pause, this isn't a bad platform but based on the two properties listed, on and off due to questionable leads, I'll put this model in the vacant section for now
