What Is an Oregon Rental Application?
An Oregon Rental Application is a document that is supposed to provide a landlord or a property manager with information about their potential tenants. After receiving a completed Rental Application Form from their potential tenants, a landlord should review it and perform a background check. This can help them make a decision on whether they should sign a lease with the potential tenant or not.
