Free Tenant Background Check Form

By law, you must have a tenant background check form signed by the applicant before doing any kind of background check.

This will provide written consent from the tenant to do a background search which includes permission to run a credit and criminal search.

Sometimes this signed consent is already included on your rental application as well.

You can see this information in the image below which is on the 2nd page of our rental applications.

A signed rental application (with consent) is even better than a tenant background check form because you get additional information from the tenant.

Notice the first arrow highlights a rental application fee which will cover the cost of your background check.

Many landlords are hesitant to charge an application fee, but typically it will only discourage bad tenant applicants from applying.

On our rental application form you can enter an application fee to cover your background check costs. Typical charges are around $25 – $35 per applicant.
