What Is an Iowa Rental Application?
An Iowa 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.

- 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;

Iowa Rental Application Fee
A rental application fee is used to cover the costs related to processing an application and most rental property owners use the services of tenant screening companies. These organizations search for the prospective tenants and perform the screening process which is associated with a background check of the applicants looking to rent the property. The screening process includes the following investigation: the rental background of the applicant, their financial history, credit reports, national and local criminal background checks, reference checks, eviction records, and employment history.
Landlords in Iowa can charge any amount for the application fee because it is not restricted by state law. The usual cost of the application fee is within $30-50, but some landlords can collect up to $100 from an applicant.
The application fee is non-refundable. According to state law, even if a rental property owner did not consider an application or denied it, the fee should not be returned to the applicant.
