Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I am getting a good amount of response to my ad for my house rental from an advertisement. Is it good practice to give every person that is interested a copy of the application? Should I impose an application fee if my home is of much value? And do I need to add the application fee on the posting?

RE: Application Process
Deanna,
I too have placed an ad and received a lot of inquiries. I am doing everything at this point by email. I will send an application out to each person who has requested along with samples of my requirements as a Landlord. I'm using forms such as "No Illegal Activity", "Pet Agreement", "Rental History Inquiry" etc. I figure that sending those out now I may only receive a handful of applications back from the more serious prospective tenants. I am not charging any application fees as it is a service that benefits me as a landlord.
