Run a thriving rental business -- find the right tenant to rent your residential property

Landlords often receive many applications for one rental unit, and selecting the ideal tenant from the pool to rent the space can be a hassle. Weed out the unqualified and risky applicants for your rental property and identify those most likely to become considerate tenants using the forms and documents in this all-in-one kit for the savvy landlord.

Nolo's Landlord's Rental Policies, Application, and Screening Kit will help you facilitate communication between your business and anyone applying to rent your space. This kit allows you to inform potential tenants of your policies, giving unqualified applicants the opportunity to drop out; collect information from applicants about themselves to help you avoid renting to an unsuitable candidate; and insure against fair housing claims by creating a paper trail. Forms include:

• Rental Policies
• Rental Application
• Rental Application Instructions
• Consent to Contact References and Perform Credit Check
• Authorization to Charge Credit Card for Credit Report
• Receipt for Credit Check Fee
• Consent to Criminal and Background Check
• Legal Status in the United States

Reduce your business' risk and rent your property to the best candidate with the forms and instructions in Nolo's Landlord's Rental Policies, Application, and Screening Kit.
