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.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-4d permits only a tenant-screening fee of no more than fifty dollars plus the annual CPI-U adjustment determined by the Commissioner of Housing. This edition records the charge and delivery of the required receipt or invoice and screening report copy or request information.
Connecticut protects lawful source of income and a broad set of housing classes, including erased criminal history record information. The application also excludes Judicial-Branch-removed summary-process records from commercial screening under § 47a-26j.
