New Jersey Residential Rental Application

Inside the New Jersey 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
• 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 New Jersey source-of-income note.

• 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
