"Surveying our landlords and renters throughout 2020 was the best way for us to learn how they were being affected by the pandemic, eviction moratoriums, and lack of rent relief," said Sarnen Steinbarth, TurboTenant's Founder and CEO. "Identifying trends helped us to provide more value to our landlords by adapting our product and providing helpful resources during a difficult year."

TurboTenant's State of the Rental Industry Report Highlights
Surveys were sent to over 70,000 TurboTenant landlords and renters from April to December.

• The percentage of landlords receiving full rent decreased throughout 2020, peaking in December with only 54% reporting they received full rent payments.
• Independent landlords with 1-4 units received the most missed payments throughout the year.
• Households making less than $50,000 annually were financially impacted the most, with only 69% reporting they made full rent payments in December.

TurboTenant and OTL Ventures, a long-time development partner, merged in May of 2020, doubling the size of TurboTenant and allowing them to accelerate product development.

"We believe a great rental process can make a huge difference in a tenant's life which is why we empower landlords to create a fantastic rental experience," said Seamus Nally, TurboTenant's Chief Product Officer. "Now more than ever our landlords and renters need flexibility. We've launched online payments with the ability to accept rent via credit card, make partial payments, and add flexible payment plans to help both our renters and landlords get through these difficult financial times."
