About this form
A residential rental application is the landlord's first line of protection: it collects the applicant's identity, household composition, rental history, employment and income, and references, and it carries the disclosures and signed authorizations that make lawful tenant screening possible before a lease is signed.
Arkansas sets no cap, cost-basis rule, or automatic refund duty for rental application fees. Act 459 of 2025 preempts local regulation of application-fee amounts, so this edition emphasizes advance disclosure, reasonableness, and uniform treatment. The Arkansas Fair Housing Act protects the federal seven classes.
Arkansas imposes no separate statewide criminal-record screening restriction, source-of-income rule, reusable-report mandate, or screening-criteria mandate. The guide covers individualized screening, the limited lease-stage deposit rules in Ark. Code § 18-16-304, and the 45-day breach-notice framework in Ark. Code § 4-110-105.
ILRG provides self-help legal forms and download support. PublicLegal landlord forms are provided for you to complete with your own property and screening information. Screening rules vary by state and change frequently — the Completion & Use Guide explains the rules in your state and the steps that keep this application within them.
