Rental Application

The form and information a prospective tenant submits to be considered.

A rental application is what a prospective tenant submits to be considered for a unit: identity, employment and income, references, and consent to a credit check. It is the basis for screening, and landlords must handle it within human-rights rules (no protected-ground questions) and privacy limits. For applicants, a complete, honest application with verifiable references stands out; for landlords, consistency across applicants is what keeps the process fair and defensible.
