Rental Application
Real estate
Take a multi-step rental application with household, income, history, and a signed certification that the answers are complete.
A one-page rental form either skips income or dumps a novel on a phone. This GRTforms template splits identity, household, and history into steps, then asks for a certification that the answers are complete — not a lease and not a general liability release.
Who it is for
Independent landlords and small managers who still screen applications themselves.
When to use it
Use it when someone is applying for a specific unit. Property Management Lead is an owner hiring you. Tenant Maintenance is after they already have keys. Do not treat the signature as a lease.
What this form collects
Applicant identity, move-in date, household counts, income, pets, rental history, optional proof file, and a signed certification.
- Craigslist or Zillow listing application link
- Small-portfolio manager replacing a PDF packet
- Accessory-dwelling screening for an owner-occupant

Frequently asked questions
Does the signature sign the lease?
No. It certifies the application. The lease is a later document. Keep the attestation about truthfulness and verification, not occupancy terms.
Why is income proof optional?
Many serious applicants apply from a phone. You can require the file after you clone the form, or ask for it only when you short-list.
Can co-applicants share one submission?
The “other adults” field captures names. Send each adult their own copy if you need a separate certification and credit check.
