Rental Application Form Fillable
A Rental applications give landlords and property managers the information they need to screen prospective tenants who want to rent properties from them. The information provided in the application tells the landlord or property manager about the prospective tenant’s background and credit history. Landlords want to know if potential tenants have a history of evictions, criminal behavior, and/or other red flags before they take the risk of renting to them. A rental application will also give some information about a new tenant’s income and work history.
