This package of documents in intended to be emailed to a rental applicant.  It contains most everything you need to begin the process of gathering the information you will need to make an informed decision about the applicant. 

The document is in MS Word (Doc) format so it can be edited as you see fit.  If you need a different format, please ask.  We recommend at the least you personalize the memo below with your name, contact details, including email and phone/Text/Fax information.

Write a description for this list item and incluThe purpose of this move-in/move-out check list is to document the condition of the rental before the tenant takes occupancy.  Their signature is sufficient to do this.  

Later when they move out, do a final inspection using the same form to document any damage, etc.

de information that will interest site visitors. For example, you may want to describe a team member's experience, what makes a product special, or a unique service that you offer.

This is a new version our Residential Rental Application.  As with the origional it includes a complete listing of "tenant selection criteria" disclosed to the applicant.  Following that is a new and improved application.

This quick and easy worksheet will guide the landlord from step-to-step in gathering the information needed to asses a rental applicant. The purpose is to make sure the landlord doesn't miss a step but gets all of the information needed.

No one knows better what your experience will be with this applicant better than the previous landlords -- good, bad, horrid. 

Always interview the previous 2 landlords. Don't rely on the tenant giving you the landlord’s name and phone number. The Previous Address History in the Credit Report will show all previous address and you can get contact information from the County Property Appraiser.

Remember:  “Trust but verify”

Occasionally it makes sense to bring in a second party to guarantee payment of rent and later of damage, etc.  The most common occurrence is a young man or woman in their first rental home.  In such cases the parents can sign this cosigner agreement in which they take on all financial liability for the rental.

It is wise to pull credit report on the parents before agreeing to cosigner agreement.  It may be rare but not impossible for the cosigners debt payment history to be a train wreck, in which case this agreement would be all but useless.
