Housing & real estate

Rental application form with income, references and consent

Choosing a tenant is easier when every applicant answers the same questions. This form asks for contact details and date of birth, the current address, the desired move-in date, the number of occupants and pets, the employer and monthly net income, an optional payslip, a previous landlord or employer as a reference, and an authorisation for the checks needed to process the application, followed by a signature.

Who it is for

When to use it

Send the link after a viewing, to people who are really interested. Everyone gives the same information in the same order, which makes a fair comparison easier. Ask only for what you need, because income and identity details are sensitive and the rules on what a landlord may ask differ from one country to another.

The PDF your respondents receive

Questions people ask

Is this application legal in my country?
Rules on tenant screening, discrimination and data protection vary widely. Check what you are allowed to ask, and remove any question you should not use, such as the date of birth where it is not needed.
How are payslips protected?
Uploaded files and answers are stored encrypted on the server. Delete applications you do not accept once you no longer need them.
Does it run credit or reference checks?
No. It collects the information and the authorisation. Any checks are carried out by you or by a provider of your choice.
