You can find many kinds and lengths of rental applications both printed and online. The choice of which to use depends on a few factors.

• A primary consideration is how much and what kind of data you need to know about your prospective tenants.
• If you intend to check previous landlords and references, confirm employment, check credit, etc., then you’ll want to be sure your application requests all the needed information to do those things.
• Additionally, if you will be conducting any kind of background search and check tenant credit, you’ll need a signed consent from the tenant, either on the rental application itself, or as a separate form.
