A Pennsylvania rental/lease application form is provided to prospective tenants when they inquire about renting a piece of property from a landlord. The landlord will conduct background checks based on the information the tenant provides. The process usually comes with a nonrefundable fee. When the application is approved, the landlord provides the tenant with a rental lease agreement to sign.
Application Fee - No cutoff to the sum a property manager can charge for an application expense; expenses are non-refundable (no resolution).
Security Deposit - No property manager might request a security store sum of more than two months' lease (§ 511.1(a)).
The applicant must have a minimum of two years of verifiable rental history, be able to provide information about their current and previous landlords, and meet other requirements. There must have been proper compliance with all lease terms during the preceding 24 months of the verified rental history. The deposit amount may be increased for applicants with a good landlord reference but late or bouncing payments.
All occupants who are 18 years of age or older will have their criminal histories checked. There must not have been any convictions for crimes like the following in the previous seven years.
The safety of the landlord and the neighborhood must be ensured through records. Therefore, landlords ought to run a background check going back at least seven years, paying close attention to any convictions for offenses such as violent crimes or drug dealing.
This particular characteristic is important to look for because it demonstrates a tenant's ability to pay rent on time and their commitment to and consideration for the landlord and the rental property. The applicant's current and previous jobs should be fully disclosed in this section of the application form. It can also include information about the employer.
