Rental Application Form - Nevada
What Is a Nevada Rental Application?
A Nevada Rental Application form is a legal document that needs to be filled in by prospective tenants in the state of Nevada so that a landlord can collect all necessary information for making a fair decision for filling the available vacancy. This document gives both sides confidence about mutual intentions.
Generally, a Rental Application Form from Nevada contains information about available units, applicant's personal and income information, roommate information (if applicable), pet and smoking policies, vehicle information for parking purposes, and most importantly a signed consent or permission for a background screening as well as an emergency contact. A background screening may contain a credit check, an eviction record, and a rental history check. It can only be performed by a landlord if signed permission is granted with the submission of the rental application.
It is against the law in Nevada to inquire about citizenship or immigration status. The landlord can not ask for an arrest record (not to discriminate due to a criminal conviction). It is also against the law to show discrimination depending on race, nationality, family status, disability, or an unfavorable source of income. Pregnant women and families on public assistance can not be discriminated against as well. A written reason for tenant rejection must be provided and landlords must make refusal specifications clear. If a tenant is refused for reasons that are not listed by the landlord, the application fee must be returned.

Nevada Rental Application Fee
There's no set limit to the cost a prospective tenant will have to pay for a Nevada Rental Application. Nevada law gives landlords the decision-making power when it comes to deciding on what to charge for the application services. Generally, this cost is similar in the 42 (out of 50) states where there are no limits set for rental application fees and Nevada is one of these states as well. One may expect to pay from $30-$50 with some exceptions for more desired properties .
The rental application fee is non-refundable, the amount has to be clearly stated on the application form and needs to be paid separately from the security deposit payment. These two payments have to be made by separate checks or money-orders to keep the accounting easy to manage. Nevada is considered among some of the friendlier of the western states and landlords usually keep the application cost down to their own expenses due to background screening services costs.
