Inside the Idaho application

Every part of the form, in order — the application summary, 17 sections, and the office-use panel.

  • Application summary The reasonable-accommodation contact line, property applied for, requested move-in date, offered rent, and stated security deposit.
  • 1. Application Money Disclosure Completed by the owner/manager before the application is handed out: the Idaho no-fee or disclosed application-fee election, with no statutory cap or refund duty, and Idaho Code § 6-321 lease-stage deposit context.
  • 2. About You Identity, contact channels, an electronic-notice election with a paper-mail alternative, and identity-document choices (SSN, ITIN, government-issued ID, or a lawful alternative) — no date-of-birth field anywhere on the form.
  • 3. Other Proposed Occupants Household composition with a separate-signed-application election for each person — ages, birth dates, and adult/minor classifications are never collected; every other adult completes and signs a separate application.
  • 4. Pets and Assistance Animals Household pets only; service and assistance animals are handled as fair-housing accommodations, never as pets.
  • 5. Residential History Current and prior addresses, housing payments, owner/manager contacts, and an optional neutral move reason.
  • 6. Employment & Income Employment plus any lawful source of income, with the Idaho source-of-income note.
  • 7. Banking or Asset Verification An optional verification election; the form never collects account numbers.
  • 8. References and Emergency Contact An optional personal reference and an emergency contact that is not used for screening.
  • 9. Vehicle Information Vehicle details where parking is requested.
  • 10. Additional Information An open area for lawful qualification information.
  • 11. Screening Criteria Election The Idaho screening criteria election — no statutory criteria sheet is required, but the election records whether written criteria were delivered before any fee or report authorization.
  • 12. Reusable or Portable Tenant-Screening Reports The reusable or portable tenant-screening report note — Idaho has no acceptance mandate; voluntary reports should be verified directly with their reporting agency.
  • 13. Screening Information and Legal Limits No criminal-history self-reporting or state-mandated sequence; use consistently applied individualized criteria, avoid blanket exclusions, and account for Idaho Code §§ 67-5909, 55-307, and 67-3008.
  • 14. Consumer Report Disclosure How consumer reports are obtained and the adverse-action notice commitment.
  • 15. Privacy, Retention, and Disposal Data-minimization commitments under the FCRA and its Disposal Rule.
  • 16. Applicant Declaration The signed certification of accuracy with a verification-contact authorization; electronic and copied signatures honored.
  • 17. Screening Report Disclosure and Authorization The standalone signed authorization, investigative-report notice, agency identification, free-report-copy election, and the federal Summary-of-Your-Rights package insert.
  • For Office Use Only An unnumbered owner/manager-only panel for fee, criteria-delivery, decision, refund, and federal adverse-action records; safeguard personal information under Idaho Code § 28-51-105.

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.

Idaho sets no cap, cost-basis rule, or automatic refund duty for rental application fees, so this edition emphasizes advance disclosure, reasonableness, and uniform treatment. Idaho Code § 67-5909 protects the federal seven housing classes, with no statewide additions.

Idaho Code § 55-307 preempts local rent, application-fee, security-deposit, and voucher-participation ordinances. Idaho has no separate statewide criminal-screening sequence, reusable-report mandate, or screening-criteria mandate. The guide covers no-disposition arrest records under § 67-3008, lease-stage deposits under § 6-321, and private-landlord resident breach notice under § 28-51-105.
