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.
Kentucky sets no cap, cost-basis rule, or automatic refund duty for rental application fees, so this edition emphasizes advance disclosure, reasonableness, and uniform treatment. The Kentucky Fair Housing Act protects the federal seven classes. KRS § 65.874 preempts local mandates requiring a landlord to accept federal housing assistance as a condition of renting.
Kentucky imposes no separate statewide criminal-record screening sequence, reusable-report mandate, or screening-criteria mandate. The guide covers individualized screening, lease-stage security-deposit rules under KRS § 383.580, and breach notice under KRS § 365.732.
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 & Compliance Guide explains the rules in your state and the steps that keep this application within them.
