Tenant Rental Application - Resources

Required Information

When you're applying for a rental property through TenantMagic, we streamline the process, ensuring it's convenient for both the applicants and the property managers. Below is a breakdown of the essential information you'll need to provide during the tenant rental application process.

First and foremost, personal details are crucial for any application. This includes your full legal name, date of birth, and Social Security number, which are necessary for identification purposes and background checks.

Current address, phone number, and email address fall under contact information. They are vital for us and the landlords to keep in touch with you throughout the application process and thereafter.

Your past rental arrangements provide insights into your tenancy behavior. You'll need to list your previous landlords, rental periods, and any reasons for leaving your last rental. This helps in establishing reliability and trustworthiness as a tenant.

Employment details, including your current employer, position, salary, and length of employment, demonstrate financial stability. Additionally, you might be asked to provide recent pay stubs or bank statements for income verification.

Additional Information

Beyond the basics, there are a few more pieces of information that can support your application and help you stand out as a desirable tenant.

Having an emergency contact is standard procedure, ensuring that there's someone we can reach out to on your behalf in urgent situations.

References can play a key role in the decision-making process. Providing contacts who can vouch for your reliability and responsibility, such as former landlords or employers, is highly beneficial.

If you're planning on sharing the space with roommates, each person will need to submit their application. Details about co-applicants should be included, ensuring everyone passes the screening process.

Authorization and Agreement

Your consent is paramount in the tenant screening process. Below are the authorizations and agreements you'll be asked to review and sign.

By applying, you authorize TenantMagic and the property manager to conduct a thorough background check, including credit history, criminal records, eviction history, and sex offender registry checks.

It's essential to acknowledge that you understand and agree to the terms laid out in the rental agreement. This includes rent amounts, deposit requirements, lease duration, and any other property-specific policies.

Signature

The final step in completing your tenant rental application is to sign it. This signifies that all the information provided is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you consent to the screening process.

Your signature is a binding acknowledgment of the information and consents provided in the application.

Record the date when you sign off on the application to mark the official submission time, which can be important if there are any time-sensitive aspects to your application or the rental availability.
