Rental Application Form Streamlined 1 Letter sized Page

"It is far better to have no tenant than to have a bad tenant."

Rental Application Form

As one of the most popular and most used rental applications for residential rentals in the US, The LPA rental application form continues to aid landlords in tenant screening with ease and efficiency.

Over the years, some landlords have asked for a shortened version of the rental application containing only the key essentials needed to conduct a quick and efficient tenant screening on a rental prospect. We've recreated the application to fit one letter sized page.


Items contained in the rental application form are:

  • Authorization to obtain a copy of tenant's credit report(s) and verify any information given. We need this because it is illegal to pull a credit report without the tenant's written authorization according to the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act).

  • Deposit Not Refundable, unless applicant is rejected. Deposit receipt and rental offer form is included in this rental application. (Applicants may not get their deposit back if they decide to change their mind.)

  • Includes Non-refundable screening fee agreement. The prospective tenant pays a screening fee when the rental application is submitted to you. This fee covers you for the cost of checking references and running credit reports!
