Application fees.
An application fee shall not exceed $50, excluding any actual out-of-pocket expenses paid by the landlord to a third party performing background, credit, or other pre-occupancy checks on the applicant. However, where an application is being made for a dwelling unit which is a public housing unit or other housing unit subject to regulation by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, an application fee shall not exceed $32, exclusive of any actual out-of-pocket expenses paid to a third party by the landlord performing background, credit, or other pre-occupancy checks on the applicant.
Any landlord may require an application fee and a separate application deposit. If the applicant fails to rent the unit for which application was made, from the application deposit the landlord shall refund to the applicant within 20 days after the applicant's failure to rent the unit or the landlord's rejection of the application all sums in excess of the landlord's actual expenses and damages together with an itemized list of said expenses and damages. If, however, the application fee or deposit was made by cash, certified check, cashier's check, or postal money order, such refund shall be made within 10 days of the applicant's failure to rent the unit if the failure to rent is due to the landlord's rejection of the application. If the landlord fails to comply with this section, the applicant may recover as damages suffered by him that portion of the fee wrongfully withheld and reasonable attorney's fees.

Free Rental Application (Print & Handwrite In)
Good (and profitable) property management starts with vigorous tenant screening, which starts right here with collecting rental applications from all applicants. This comprehensive two-page rental application includes information on the applicant's income, employment, pets, references and other occupants, just to name a few. It also inquires about bankruptcies, judgments, evictions and other red flags from an applicant's past. Nor does it stop there - to properly screen tenants you'll want to contact references, employers and former landlords, and run credit and criminal background checks, which this rental application includes authorization to do.
The information that will be returned to you in this form will be extremely sensitive and private, so take care when storing it, and be sure to comply with all applicable privacy laws when collecting and reviewing this information.
