[PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/rentec-direct-and-market-ready-turn-launch-ai-powered-integration-to-streamline-tenant-turnover-302915056.html) distributed the announcement on October 21, 2026. Tenant turnover costs an average of $4,000 per unit, including lost rent, concessions and maintenance, and rental units averaged 34 days of vacancy at the end of 2024.\n\n## How the Market Ready Turn Integration Works\n\nThe integration brings Market Ready Turn's AI-powered turnover technology directly into the Rentec Direct platform, linking key steps such as move-out inspections, work orders, vendor verification, cleaning and listing preparation into a single workflow. Rentec Direct said the integration reduces the manual work and gaps that can extend turnover timelines and keep properties off the market.\n\n\"Property managers need tools that solve specific problems and fit into the way they already work,\" said Nathan Miller, Founder and CEO of Rentec Direct. \"Market Ready Turn was created by one of our own property management clients to solve a challenge they were experiencing firsthand.\"\n\nMiller founded Rentec Direct in 2007 as a tool for the challenges he faced as an independent landlord managing a growing portfolio. Jarrod Knight, a Rentec Direct client and property manager, developed Market Ready Turn in 2026 to address complexities he experienced in rental turnover.\n\n\"After years of running my property management company, I realized I'd never given my team a real standard for when a unit was ready to market,\" said Jarrod Knight, Founder of Market Ready Turn. \"So I built a scoring system and worked backwards, and that ultimately became Market Ready Turn.\"\n\nRentec Direct and Market Ready Turn hosted a live demonstration of the integration, showing how property managers can reduce manual work, coordinate maintenance faster and get rentals market-ready sooner.\n\n## Rentec Direct's Open API and Platform Scale\n\nRentec Direct launched its Open API in April 2026 at no additional cost to all Rentec Pro and PM clients, enabling AI-driven automation, workflow integration and custom dashboarding for small- to mid-size operators, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records show more than 18,000 landlords and property managers following the Open API launch announcement, and over 14,000 property managers using Rentec Direct to manage more than 500,000 units. Rentec Direct serves landlords and property managers across all 50 states and internationally, with more than 400,000 users.\n\n## Rentec Direct's Recent Recognition\n\nRentec Direct marked its 10th consecutive year on the Inc. 5000 list in August 2026, ranking it among America's fastest-growing private companies, PR Newswire reported. The company was named a finalist in the 2026 SaaS Awards for the second consecutive year, recognized in the Best SaaS Product for Construction & Property Management category, PR Newswire reported in August 2026. In September 2026, Rentec Direct awarded Tech Mastery Scholarships to three Oregon students pursuing technology degrees, PR Newswire reported; the program, launched in 2016, has given over $15,000 to more than 30 students.\n\n## Where to Find the Integration\n\nRentec Direct published information about the integration on its company website.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
