Rental Application Form - Maryland
What Is a Maryland Rental Application?
A Maryland Rental Application form is a legal document that a rental property owner uses to get fiscally responsible tenants to rent their property. The application contains a list of questions for the applicants, the answers to which allow landlords to choose the most appropriate person.
A Maryland Rental Application contains the following sections:
- Address and type of residential rental unit;
- Information about an applicant: their full name, email, and phone number;
- Names and relationships of every occupant who is going to stay in the apartment including minors;
- Landlord references over the past three years, including address, the dates of occupancy, and reason for leaving;
- Employment information, including the company's name, address, and position of the filer there;
- Income information, including the monthly income of an applicant;
- Compliance with the rental terms at the previous rental location and information about eviction;
- Non-relative references;
- Additional questions that a landlord considers necessary to answer.
A Rental Application Form from Maryland should include the authorization of a filer to check information provided for verification with the use of public records, previous rental property owners, and personal references.

Maryland Rental Application Fee
Landlords use the Maryland Rental Application form to collect information about their prospective tenants which allows them to determine the best candidate. A renter has to pay a rental application fee when applying. If the Maryland Rental Application is prepared by a landlord who rents five or more units at one location and an application fee is charged, the rights and obligations of a renter should be explained there.
According to the law of the state of Maryland, landlords can require a rental application fee of $25 or less. If a landlord collected a fee exceeded $25, they have to explain the applicant in writing the expenditure of this money and return the amount that was not used to process a rental application . A landlord has to refund it within 15 days following the date of occupancy or after providing to the applicant written notification that another tenant has been chosen.
These demands do not concern landlords offering four or fewer rental units for rent at one location, or to seasonal rentals.
