Rental Application
• Rental Application Can I ask a tenant to complete a new rental application yearly, to verify that income, employment, etc. has not changed during the year? Also, if they refuse to complete the application, can I evict? Thanks, Sorry, i live in California

Hi Gwendolyn, I don't know of any law that prohibits you from requesting an update on tenant’s status by having them fill out another application. However, don’t be surprised if tenant shows signs of irritation. Just let them know that you’re just updating your records. You could also run another credit check, but the cost (my personal opinion) should be LL’s expense. Consider having the update done 1-2 months prior to the expiration of the lease agreement. This will give you a chance to send them a Termination of Tenancy. In CA, you must give a 60 Days Notice if tenant rented from you more than 12 months.
