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.
Missouri sets no cap, cost-basis rule, or automatic refund duty for rental application fees. This edition emphasizes advance disclosure, a reasonable amount, and uniform treatment. The Missouri Human Rights Act protects the federal seven classes plus ancestry.
Missouri imposes no separate statewide criminal-screening restriction, portable-report mandate, or screening-criteria mandate. Section 441.043 RSMo preempts local source-of-income, deposit, and screening mandates while preserving the veterans’ and military-benefit carve-out.
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.
