  Hi ********,I am writing to request immediate escalation of an urgent issue regarding my landlord account, **************** ************************** As you can see in the previous correspondence, I am completely unable to access my account through either the website or the mobile application. The system indicates my email is not found when attempting a password reset.After attempting to log in, the system allowed me to create a new account using the same email, which then displayed old tenant messages and prompted me to upgrade despite having recently paid for an upgraded ********** appears my original account has effectively disappeared from your system. I need to regain access immediately as I have active leases and tenants who rely on my responsiveness.I understand that initial support responses were focused on a potential password reset, but this is clearly a more complex issue requiring urgent attention. Support has been silent since this was identified.Please investigate this immediately and provide a clear path to resolution. I can be reached at ************.I also reached out to the company executives online for help and support.Sincerely,****************

  Turbo Tenant website notified me I owe them $135.00, although my landlord says I do not. I emailed Turbo Tenant about my concerns; they had trouble following my email conversation, gave me information as though I were a landlord, and lost track of the discussion. Turbo Tenant, though quick in their responses, erroneously sent me to a tab called "billing, which did not exist for renters. The person I was emailing thought I was the landlord, though I opened by stating that I do not use Turbo Tenant to pay my rent. Turbo Tenant continued to give me inaccurate information. My landlord says I do not owe fees to Turbo Tenant, though the Turbo Tenant application sent me a notification that I owed $135.00. The Turbo Tenant team explained that the $135.00 was a screening fee for moving in. I communicated that I paid a screening fee to my landlord about two years ago when I moved in at that time. Turbo Tenant stated that if I were moving out, my landlord would need to update their records. I stated that I was not moving out and that I will continue paying my rent in person or by mail and am not using Turbo Tenant. I am asking the Better Business Bureau to notify Turbo Tenant that they carefully review their customer service training to include understanding and identifying the reporter (tenant or landlord), the issue (fees), and give the correct resolution without giving wrongful information. Renters need the option as well, not to be notified of fees they do not owe, if they are bypassing Turbo Tenant to pay their rent. I have used Turbo Tenant very few times to pay my rent since this is the first time a landlord I rented from used them. I have used them very few times (perhaps 3 or 4), saw miscellaneous handling fees being added onto my rent when I used my debit card then stopped. I want to ensure that Turbo Tenant fees I do not owe and will not pay, per my landlord, do not result in a negative credit report. A Turbo Tenant to me says they are using AI.

  Dear *******,
  
  Thank you for reaching out regarding your concerns. Ive reviewed your interactions with our support team, noting that you contacted us three times in the last month. Twice, using our FIN AI agent, and once via email, in which a representative did respond to your email, though we did not receive a follow-up from you. The $135 that you are seeing is a late fee for your rent payment. The late fee is not something that TurboTenant sends or adds to an account; the landlord set this to trigger five days after the rent due date of the 1st. Please note that TurboTenant does not manage landlord accounts or remove charges on behalf of tenants. If youve paid rent outside the platform, it is the landlords responsibility to log the offline payment to prevent late fees and/or delete the late fees if they do not apply.
  
  Additionally, a 3.49% fee applies to all card payments, which is clearly indicated in three locations when setting up or modifying payment methods. To avoid this fee, I recommend connecting a checking account. Additionally, since you are not enrolled in rent reporting, unpaid or past-due payments will not be reported; we only report on-time payments, including those paid offline, as long as the landlord records them as paid.
  
  If you need additional support, you can reach back out to our support team directly, or you can contact your landlord directly to address the late fee.
  
  Best regards,
  Danni

  On 6/25/25, I summitted an application for an apartment listed on TurboTenant. At the end of the application, it charged me 45 dollars for a background and credit check. However, after I submitted it, I learned that Massachusetts state law bans charging rental applicants a fee for background and credit checks. TurboTenant violated the law by collecting this fee, even if it was for a service performed.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 07/03/2025

  ****, 
  
  As a third-party software company that does not own or manage any properties, we charge renters a screening fee, not an application fee. This $45 charge covers the cost of generating the screening and background reports. In regards to the MA state law, these types of laws are in place to ensure that landlords are not profiting off of incentivizing multiple applicants to apply when they have no intent to rent from them. 
  
  You successfully submitted an application to this property on 6/25/2025. From there, it is up to the landlord to review the application and determine if they would like to move forward with renting the property to the applicant. A refund is not being processed in this case because the the application was successfully submitted and the screening report was received by the landlord, per our Terms of Use.

  Hello,
  
  Due to the highly restrictive nature of MA state laws regarding screening processes, we are issuing a full refund of your screening fee.
  The refund will be processed within the next 5-7 business days and will be returned to your original payment method.

  I applied for a home to rent on ************************ and after applying to the home the listing was removed. I had no opportunity to call the landlord as all details of the home were removed. The turbotenant support said the only way to get my money back is through the landlord. I dont believe them because the point of sale was on their website and not some landlords. I cant even find the address for the home I applied let alone contact the landlord. To me this seems like a scam listing and turbotenant is facilitating it by not issuing my refund.

  *******, 
  
  We are a free software that landlords can utilize to market and manage their rental properties. We do not own or manage anything ourselves. You successfully submitted an application to this property on June 9, 2025. From there, it is up to the landlord to review the application and determine if they would like to move forward with renting the property to the applicant. To avoid an issue like this in the future, I strongly recommend speaking with the landlord before applying. 
  
  Additionally, our records show that a dispute of the $55 application fee was filed with your bank on June 13, 2025, and we have complied with the request for documentation. Currently, the dispute is being reviewed by your banking institution.

  Yensey,
  
  Were happy to provide you with a copy once it has been verified by ********** and after the landlord has requested the necessary information from you. It appears that this process has not yet been completed, so were unable to share the report at this time.
  
  To proceed, please submit the required screening report information to your landlord. Once thats done, you can contact our support team, and well provide the report after verifying your identity.
  I also noticed that your recent requests for the screening report were handled by our AI assistant, Fin, and no direct requests to our support team were made during regular business hours. If you need further assistance, please dont hesitate to reach out to our support team directly, and well be happy to help.

  ******,
  
  As explained by our representatives, TurboTenant is a platform utilized by landlords to manage rental properties and is not authorized to modify charges on behalf of renters. Furthermore, TurboTenant is unable to remove charges from renter accounts on their behalf, which generate these notifications.
  
  Please note that the most recent payment due notification was issued on June 6, 2025. We have confirmed that all charges associated with your account have been removed, and your account has been closed.
  
  If you continue to receive marketing emails from TurboTenant, you may unsubscribe by clicking the link provided at the bottom of those emails to fully opt out of our mailing list.

  **************** and contact unavailable. The site forces you to sign up to report fraud. I dont want to be a customer, nor do I want an account. I want my information and email address removed from the system immediately! I have been receiving email claims from their app and I am neither a tenant nor have I ever heard of their company. It appears to be a scam setup by the company to get people to create accounts.

  It appears that you had an active lease managed through ****** platform at the time of its closure. As part of Azibos cessation of operations, all active accounts, including yours, were transferred to TurboTenant, the acquiring company. This transfer included any active leases and associated payment schedules, which explains why you may have received rent payment notices from TurboTenant.
  
  To provide context, TurboTenant acquired ****** platform, and as part of this acquisition, all active accounts, leases, and related data were legally transferred to TurboTenant in accordance with standard business acquisition protocols. This transition was necessary to ensure continuity of service for users like yourself.
  
  We understand that this change may have caused confusion, and we want to assure you that we took steps to communicate this transition to all affected users. Notifications regarding the migration were sent both prior to and following the transfer to inform you of the change and provide guidance on next steps.

If turbo tenant has evidence of a valid lease than I will accept the response, because its an azibo problem.

I spoke to the support team of turbo tenant and they said that a human error could have been made aor their datas are incomplete or innacurate-

  

  Business Response

  Date: 05/13/2025

  Maya, 
  
  We are sorry to hear about your experience with this tenant. 
  
  The background screening report may not reflect criminal records for several reasons, including the scope of the search, the age of the record, sealed or expunged records, or jurisdictional laws governing the reporting of such information. Additionally, inaccuracies, incomplete data, or human error may result in records not appearing in the report.
  As you did not proceed with onboarding this applicant, our system does not reflect any late or missed payments associated with their account. For your convenience, we previously sent an email containing the direct contact information for our legal team, should you have further inquiries regarding this matter.
  
  Please feel free to reach out to our support team, should you need future assistance.

  Dear TurboTenant Support,
  
  I’m reaching out regarding an urgent issue with the 1099-K form issued to me for the 2024 tax year. The form incorrectly lists Maryland as the state where rental income was earned. However, all of my rental properties are located in Virginia, and the income was earned entirely within the state of Virginia.
  
  This misreporting may lead to incorrect state tax filings and potential legal or financial complications with the state of Maryland. As the issuing party, TurboTenant is responsible for ensuring that all 1099 forms are accurate and reflect the correct tax jurisdiction.
  
  I am requesting that you:
  
  Issue a corrected 1099-K with Virginia listed as the state.
  
  Void or formally correct the erroneous Maryland filing.
  
  Confirm in writing when this correction has been submitted to the IRS and the applicable state agencies.
  
  Please treat this as a time-sensitive matter. I am happy to provide supporting documentation, such as property addresses and lease agreements, to expedite the correction.
  
  Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. I look forward to your confirmation.
  
  Best regards,

  

  Business Response

  Date: 05/07/2025

  *****,
  
  I understand your frustration regarding the 1099-K issued for the 2024 tax season. As previously stated, the Maryland address included on the 1099-K is the "Payee address," which is the address you have listed as your mailing address within your TurboTenant account and the address you added as your mailing address when you set up your account to accept rent payments. You are considered the "Payee" in this case, which is why that address is listed. It is not the address of your rental properties, unless you reside full-time at one of those addresses. At no point in our conversations did you describe that to be your situation. The form was not issued in error; it was generated based on the information that you included in your account. We will not update a 1099-K form to help you avoid filing taxes in a state where you reside. As previously suggested, I would highly encourage connecting with a CPA to better understand your tax obligations when owning a rental property in a different state in which you reside. 
  
  Thank you, 
  Danni
