Rental Application template

A rental application covering the checks landlords actually run: employer and income, desired move-in date, smoking, pets, and a proof-of-income upload. Applicants with pets get a follow-up asking for type, breed, size, and age; applicants without pets never see it. The file upload accepts pay stubs or an offer letter so screening starts from the first submission.

When to use this template

An independent landlord screening applicants for a two-unit building without paying for property-management software
A property manager who needs breed and size details up front because some units restrict large dogs
A room-by-room house share where housemates review income and smoking answers together
A landlord processing applications first-come-first-served who wants timestamps on every submission

Tips to get more from it

The pets branch is a skip rule: answering "No" jumps past the pet-details question. Add a similar rule for smoking follow-ups if your lease needs them.
The income question is a number field, so responses sort and filter numerically in the export — no parsing "$4,500ish" out of a text box.
The proof-of-income upload asks for two pay stubs or an offer letter; uploaded files are stored with the response, so you are not chasing attachments over email.
Screening order matters legally in some jurisdictions — Zunoform timestamps every response, which gives you a defensible first-come-first-served record.

Questions people ask

Is this rental application form legally compliant?

The template collects standard screening information, but housing law varies by state and city — some places restrict questions or require specific disclosures. Every question is editable, so adapt it to your local requirements or have counsel review it.

Can applicants upload documents?

Yes, the template includes a file upload for proof of income. Files are stored with the response and available when you review submissions.

Does this cost anything?

No — every field here works on the free plan (unlimited forms, 500 responses/month). You would only need Pro if you add a payment field, for example to collect an application fee.
