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.
La. R.S. 9:3258.1 requires a written pre-fee notice stating the fee amount, whether credit scores, employment history, criminal history, or eviction records are considered, and the applicant’s right to submit an optional statement of 200 words or less about hardship from a state or federally declared disaster or emergency.
La. R.S. 51:2606(A) protects the federal fair-housing classes plus military status and natural, protective, or cultural hairstyle. Louisiana has no statewide reusable-report or screening-criteria mandate, and New Orleans has no source-of-income ordinance requiring a rider.
