Rental Application Form - Mississippi
What Is a Mississippi Rental Application?
A Mississippi Rental Application Form is a legal document in the state of Mississippi that needs to be filled by a prospective tenant in order to apply for a tenancy at the selected rental property. The landlord requires certain personal, financial, and contact information as well as a signed written consent for a background screening to make a fair decision about filling the vacancy. Depending on the landlord, a number of screenings might be required. They may need to check credit history, rental history, and eviction records.
A Rental Application Form from Mississippi will provide information about available units, time of availability, pet and smoking policies, security deposit amount, etc. Prospective tenants will have to provide personal and employment information, roommate information if applicable (the landlord has a right to know who the unit will be shared with and there's a limit of only two people per bedroom plus one additional tenant). All information provided has to be true to insure mutual respect from both sides. An application fee can be collected and a background check can be performed only if a rental unit is available or will become available within a reasonable time limit.
