About Rental Application Maker
Makes a printable rental application for a property: applicant, household, income, rental history, references and consent, as a Word or PDF file.
Fair housing, screening and application-fee rules differ by state and city. This is a general template, not legal advice. Have it checked for your area.
Enter the property and your details. Download the form, print it or send it, and let each applicant fill it in.
Ask for only the last four digits of an ID number, and keep completed applications locked away. Apply the same questions to every applicant.
- Does the tool store what applicants write?
- No. It only makes a blank form from the property details you type. Applicants fill in the printed or downloaded form, outside the site.
- Can I run a background check with this form?
- The form includes a consent line, but a check needs separate written permission and a screening provider. Rules vary by state and city, so check them first.
How to use Rental Application Maker
Enter the property, the landlord or manager, and the rent, deposit and any application fee. Choose whether to include the pets and vehicles section. Download the form and print it or send it for the applicant to fill in.
When to use it
Use it when you rent out a room, unit or house and want one consistent application for every applicant.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a screening or credit-check service. Fair housing, screening and fee rules differ by state and city, so check them before you advertise.
Tips for best results
Ask for only the last four digits of an ID number, ask every applicant the same questions, and lock completed forms away or shred them when the decision is made.
Limitations
It makes a blank form with fill-in lines: it does not collect or store applicant answers, run any check, or save anything. The consent line says background checks need separate written permission.
Privacy
Only the property details you type are used, in your browser. No applicant data is ever entered into the page, so nothing is sent or kept.
