TurboTenant is great for free credit checks. But it can't tell you if an applicant's pay stub was made on a $20 generator site.
TurboTenant pulls credit reports, background checks, and eviction records — all valuable. But when a tenant submits income documents (which ~40% of SmartMove reports never even complete), TurboTenant has no way to verify those documents are real. A fake pay stub showing $8,000/month looks identical to a real one in a PDF attachment.
Answers: "Does this person have good credit, a clean background, and no evictions?"
Answers: "Are this person's income documents real or fabricated?"
Use both for complete protection. TurboTenant checks who they are. TenantProof checks if their documents are real.
