Lease Application FAQ

What is a lease application? Lease applications contain requests for information from potential lessees. They are not actual leases. By requesting background information, the lessor will be better able to select the best lessee from the applicant pool. Information requested includes employment information, prior residences, financial information, and references. Each lease application also contains a authorization for a credit check of the applicant. Be sure to use our convenient "preview" feature to have a look at the Lease Application before you purchase.

Why is tenant screening important? Avoiding problem tenants is the first step in a successful landlord tenant relationship. Through the lease application, a potential tenant's references can be checked and a determination can be made as to whether this is a desirable tenant or a problem waiting to happen. Employment/salary can be verified in order to determine whether the tenant can pay the rent. Credit can be checked, to see if the tenant has a poor credit rating indicating inability to pay debts. Failure to screen tenants is simply bad business practice.
