Tenant Turner is a cloud-based software platform designed for property managers and landlords that automates the leasing process, from capturing rental leads to scheduling showings to pre-qualifying prospective tenants. It essentially replaces the manual back-and-forth of phone calls, emails, and calendar juggling that comes with filling a vacancy, handling much of that work automatically around the clock.
What Tenant Turner Does
At its core, Tenant Turner is built to solve one problem: getting vacant rental units leased faster with less hands-on work. It does this through three connected functions that cover the journey from initial inquiry to scheduled showing.
The first is lead tracking. Every inquiry, whether it comes in by email or phone, gets funneled into a centralized CRM (a contact management system in the cloud). The software responds to leads instantly and follows up automatically at each stage of the leasing process. If a lead doesn’t convert for one property, Tenant Turner can redirect them to other available rentals in your portfolio, so no inquiry goes to waste.
The second function is automated scheduling. Once a lead comes in, the system guides the prospective tenant through pre-qualification questions and then offers available showing times. Confirmations, reminders, cancellations, and post-showing feedback requests all happen without you lifting a finger. Tenant Turner claims this can reduce incoming lead-related phone calls by 70% through its self-service phone system, or by 100% if you use its optional call center add-on.
The third piece is screening and pre-qualification. You set your own criteria (income requirements, credit thresholds, pet policies, move-in dates, or whatever matters to you), and Tenant Turner scores incoming leads against those standards. Only prospects who meet your qualifications get access to your showing calendar or receive a lockbox code. This prevents unqualified leads from taking up your time or accessing your properties.
How Showings Work
Tenant Turner supports both agent-led showings and self-guided tours, giving property managers flexibility based on how hands-on they want to be.
For self-guided tours, prospective tenants submit their information and complete the pre-qualification screening. If they pass, they receive a single-use code to access an electronic lockbox at the property. The lockboxes use scam-fighting technology to help prevent unauthorized access, and because each code is unique, you maintain a digital record of who entered the property and when.
For agent-led showings, the process is similar on the front end. The prospect submits their information and schedules a time, but instead of receiving a lockbox code, they’re booked for a traditional in-person tour with a leasing agent. The software syncs with Google and Outlook calendars so showing times stay aligned with your team’s availability.
Pricing and Plans
Tenant Turner charges per unit under management on a monthly basis, with two main tiers.
The Pro Plan costs $1.30 per residential unit per month, with a $65 minimum subscription. This includes the scheduling software and an automated phone system. There’s also a one-time $19 carrier registration fee.
The Ultra Plan costs $2.70 per unit per month, with a $135 minimum. It includes everything in the Pro Plan plus 24/7 automated call answering, instant email responses to all tenant leads with automatic follow-up, calendar integrations, and unlimited leads, users, and support.
To put that in practical terms: a property manager with 100 units would pay $130 per month on the Pro Plan or $270 per month on the Ultra Plan. A smaller operation at the minimum threshold (50 units on Pro) pays the $65 floor regardless of exact unit count.
Add-Ons
Electronic lockboxes for self-showings are sold separately. Options range from the SerosBox at $59 upfront plus $3.50 per month, up to the SentriLock at $175 upfront plus $5.00 per month (which comes with a 10-year warranty compared to one year on the cheaper models). Electronic locks are also available, including the SerosLock at $79 plus $3.50 monthly and the igloolock at $175 plus $5.00 monthly in combined fees.
A messaging add-on is available for $25 per month, which covers the first 500 messages. Additional messages cost 3 cents each after that.
Software Integrations
Tenant Turner connects with several widely used property management platforms, including Buildium, Rent Manager, Propertyware, Yardi, and AppFolio. These integrations let you sync property listings, vacancy data, and lead information between systems rather than entering everything twice. It also integrates with Google and Outlook calendars for scheduling coordination.
This matters most for property managers already running their operations through one of these platforms. If your property management software integrates with Tenant Turner, adding the leasing automation layer is straightforward. If you use a less common system, you’ll want to confirm compatibility before committing.
Who It’s Built For
Tenant Turner is designed primarily for professional property managers and management companies, not individual landlords renting out a single property. The per-unit pricing model and minimum subscription fees make it most cost-effective for portfolios of 50 units or more. At 50 units on the Pro Plan, you’re paying $1.30 per unit. At 20 units, you’re still paying the $65 minimum, which works out to $3.25 per unit, a less compelling value.
The platform is particularly useful for managers who handle a high volume of tenant turnover or manage scattered-site single-family rentals, where coordinating showings across multiple locations eats up significant staff time. The self-showing feature is especially valuable in that scenario, since it lets prospects tour properties without a leasing agent driving across town for each appointment.
How It Compares to Alternatives
The closest competitor in this space is ShowMojo, which offers similar showing automation features. On Capterra, a software review platform, Tenant Turner holds notably higher user ratings across the board: 4.7 out of 5 for value, ease of use, and customer service, compared to ShowMojo’s ratings in the mid-3s for all three categories (as of early 2026). Tenant Turner’s starting price also comes in lower.
Rently is another alternative that focuses heavily on self-guided touring technology with its own smart lockbox hardware. The right choice between these platforms depends on your portfolio size, which property management software you already use, and whether you prioritize self-showing capabilities or broader leasing automation. Most of these platforms offer demos or trial periods, so testing the workflow with your actual listings before committing to annual contracts is worth the time.
