TurboTenant review

TurboTenant ranks first because its free plan already covers the three jobs a small landlord does most: advertising a vacancy, screening applicants and collecting rent online. Listings go to 25+ sites, applications include credit, criminal and eviction checks paid by the renter, and rent comes in by ACH or card with late fees and reminders. Essentials, at $149 a year for up to 10 units, adds unlimited e-signed leases, faster listing review and the landlord forms pack. Essentials also imports transactions automatically. Pro, at $199 a year for the same band, adds income verification, fraud detection, one-click tax-ready reports and unlimited connected bank accounts, and it drops the renter's ACH fee and lowers the screening fee from $55 to $45. The trade-off is that free-plan savings partly move to your tenants through those fees. Landlords who would rather not self-manage can put individual units on Autopilot, the company's flat-fee management service.
