What type of information should a prospective landlord ask for on a standard rental application?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yes, those are pretty standard, because a landlord does not want to be left out in the cold while a unit is occupied by someone not paying the rent. Once someone is moved in, it is really hard to get them physically removed if they don’t cooperate. So credit and employment verification are pretty standard. They also look for a rental history, so they get an indication of how long you’ll live there. It’s easier all around if they get a tenant that will live there for a long time.
