General Information

Residential Rental Application

A Residential Rental Application allows a landlord or property manager to obtain information from prospective tenants interested in renting a residential property. Basic information, including prior rental history, employment and credit related information is requested through this application from the prospective tenant. The Application allows the prospective tenant to consent to a credit and background check by the Landlord. The prospective tenant also verifies that the information provided is true and correct.

The information gathered through this application will be useful for the Landlord in making a decision as to whether to rent the premises to the prospective tenant or not.

Landlords should not discriminate against any applicant on any illegal or unlawful basis, including race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, family status or any other basis prohibited by local or provincial laws.

Instructions and Checklist

Residential Rental Application (Canada)

The Rental Application should be signed by the prospective tenant and by any spouse that will be residing on the premises.

If a second adult will be renting the premises, they should complete a separate rental application form.

The landlord should perform a thorough investigation of the prospective tenant (and tenant’s spouse) based on the information provided in the Application. Landlord should keep copies of any correspondence relating to the Application and written notes of any telephone conversations with and relating to the prospective Tenant(s).

It is a good idea to request some form of identification (e.g. driver’s license, passport, etc.) from the applicant after the application is completed

Landlord should make sure that all the information provided by the prospective tenant(s) “makes sense” and that everything matches (e.g. drivers’ license information matches information on application etc.)

Landlord should keep the original Application.

A copy of the application may be provided to the prospective tenant.

If an applicant does not meet landlord’s criteria, landlord should document the reason for the decision. Decisions to reject an applicant should be made in good faith and for legitimate legal purposes.

Laws vary from time to time and from province to province. In many locales there are specific laws regarding the disclosure of personal information such as employment records, financial and credit records. If you plan on using/disclosing any information provided in this application to any other party, be sure to consult an attorney.

Landlords should not discriminate against any applicant on any illegal or unlawful basis, including race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, family status, sexual orientation or any other basis prohibited by law.
