Rental Application (KY)

A residential rental application is used by landlords and property managers to collect information on potential renters.

You can rent property to tenants without using rental applications. However, rental applications can provide valuable information about a potential renter, such as the renter's employment history and income. Also, you cannot run background or credit checks on potential tenants without written permission, and rental applications are used to get that. So, many landlords choose to use rental applications when screening prospective renters.

This residential rental application will request information from potential renters to help you make an informed decision on whether or not to rent to them and will authorize you to run a credit check and contact references provided by the applicant.

You should check the municipal regulations for the city or town where the property is located to find out if application fees are regulated. Although there may or may not be a limitation imposed by the state in which the property is located, many municipalities regulate application fees.
