A Rental Application Form from Rhode Island is a very important document for a landlord. It should cover as much information as needed for the landlord or property manager to make the right decision. It should include sections like:

  • Applicant's information;
  • Information about the applicant's present employer;
  • Applicant's employment history for the past three years;
  • Applicant's rental history for the past three years;
  • Information about the applicant's vehicle;
  • Applicant's credit information;
  • Information about applicant's sources of income;
  • Emergency contact information;
  • Information about the applicant's roommates (if applicable).

If a property owner is going to use services to perform a background check, they should also receive a written and signed consent from the applying applicant. To do so, a landlord should include a paragraph in the rental application where an applicant agrees on disclosing the information they presented in the application for screening.

Rhode Island Rental Application Fee

Rhode Island doesn't have any limitations on how much a landlord can charge for a rental application fee but it usually ranges between $25 and $75. The fee is intended to cover the cost of running a credit history and background check, and it's not refundable if the prospective tenant is denied. Landlords generally charge every person that filed a rental application and perform screenings on every person as well. However to proceed to the screening process a landlord first needs to get written consent from the potential tenant and that they agree to disclose any information they have provided in the application form to third parties for the screening and credit history check.
