A Rental Application Form from Rhode Island is a very important document for a landlord. It should cover as much information as needed for the landlord or property manager to make the right decision. It should include sections like:

• Applicant's information;
• Information about the applicant's present employer;
• Applicant's employment history for the past three years;
• Applicant's rental history for the past three years;
• Information about the applicant's vehicle;
• Applicant's credit information;
• Information about applicant's sources of income;
• Emergency contact information;
• Information about the applicant's roommates (if applicable).

If a property owner is going to use services to perform a background check, they should also receive a written and signed consent from the applying applicant. To do so, a landlord should include a paragraph in the rental application where an applicant agrees on disclosing the information they presented in the application for screening.
