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.

New Hampshire requires written disclosure of any application or renewal fee and whether a satisfactory criminal background and credit check is required. If the unit is not rented to the applicant, amounts beyond documented check costs and reasonable administrative costs must be returned within 30 days after receipt.

The application applies New Hampshire’s additional fair-housing protections for age, creed, marital status, sexual orientation, and gender identity. New Hampshire has no statewide source-of-income protection, portable-report mandate, or separate criminal-screening sequence.
