FORT COLLINS, Colo. — TurboTenant, a provider of all-in-one rental property management software, has announced a strategic partnership with Rent Butter, a resident screening and verification solution, to integrate advanced tenant screening capabilities directly into the TurboTenant platform. The collaboration aims to provide TurboTenant landlords with more efficient and accurate background checks, designed to reduce risk in the leasing process. This integration represents a key development in TurboTenant’s platform growth, which currently facilitates over $3 billion in annual rent and processes more than 20,000 background checks monthly for independent landlords across the United States. Seamus Nally, CEO of TurboTenant, stated, “Resident screening is a critical step in protecting a rental investment. Through our partnership with Rent Butter, we are equipping our landlords with access to comprehensive credit, criminal, and eviction information.” Rent Butter’s screening system, now embedded within TurboTenant’s platform, aims to deliver near-instant credit and background checks. This is intended to streamline decision-making for landlords and minimize delays, which Rent Butter reports can cost owners an average of over $65 per day in lost rent with traditional screening methods that typically take one to four days. Christopher Rankin, CEO of Rent Butter, commented, “Our collaboration with TurboTenant enables us to scale our mission of improving the accuracy and transparency of tenant screening. This partnership will support a large base of landlords with faster and more reliable screening technology.” Rent Butter’s platform focuses on accuracy and fraud reduction in the resident selection process. A 30-day study conducted by Rent Butter with a 100,000-unit operator indicated that traditional screening methods, among approved rental applications, did not identify six registered sex offenders, 85 felony convictions, and 34 misdemeanors. The study noted that 14.5% of applicants in the dataset had serious criminal records that were not detected by more limited reporting methods. The company reports that, on average, resident background reports currently have an 86% accuracy rate across the industry, underscoring the need for more comprehensive screening tools.
