What is an Tenancy Application Form?

A tenancy application form is used by landlords and property managers to screen potential tenants before making a decision about renting out a house or apartment. The form collects important information about someone who wants to rent the property, which helps the landlord make a decision about whether that person is qualified or not. 

Typically, information gathered in this type of form include:

  • Name, address, and contact details of the applicant
  • Current and past rental history
  • Employment information and monthly income
  • References from previous landlords or employers
  • Consent to credit and background checks
  • Number of people and pets who will occupy the property
  • Signature of the applicant affirming all information provided is true 

This type of form can be used by large property management companies, or small landlords or even someone who is renting out a room in their house. Save money on legal fees by using our free, high quality tenancy application form template to screen new tenants confidently and quickly.
