Rental Application for Tenant (Part 1)

TURNING IN THE APPLICATION: this is a very critical part of the process. Remember, you handed them an application and instructed them in a calm voice to fill out the application completely. If you have an office, make a copy of their valid photo ID. If you are doing this at the house, use a digital camera and photograph the applicant and their valid photo ID. Many people are victims of identity theft and you do not want to get a trash bag posing as a responsible person. When the application is handed back to you, quickly review the top section to make sure you can read their name, date of birth, social security number, and the phone numbers to contact them.
