Free form

Rental application form.
Free and printable.

Everything a landlord needs to compare applicants on the same terms: who will live there, where they have lived, what they earn, and permission to check it. Print it or save it as PDF; no sign-up.

Before you hand it out

  • Give every applicant the same form and the same written criteria. Do not ask about race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, disability or family status; in Canada, provincial human rights codes add more grounds.
  • Many states and cities protect lawful source of income (housing vouchers, benefits, support), and many limit or delay questions about criminal and eviction records. This form leaves both out; check source-of-income rules before adding anything.
  • Application fees are capped or banned in some states. See rental application fee rules by state.
  • Never ask for a Social Security or Social Insurance Number on a paper form you will store in a drawer.

General information, not legal advice. Screening rules differ by state, province and city; check yours before using any application form.
