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.
Vermont prohibits every residential application fee. This edition authorizes no application, screening, processing, credit-check, background-check, holding, or reservation charge and offers no actual-cost or third-party workaround.
For screening, the applicant may use an unexpired government-issued ID, ITIN, or optional SSN; the no-SSN path is the default. Public and housing assistance are accepted, with affordability assessed against the tenant-paid rent portion.
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 & Use Guide explains the rules in your state and the steps that keep this application within them.

No. 9 V.S.A. § 4456a(a) prohibits a residential application fee; this edition also authorizes no holding or reservation money during application.
No. For screening, a landlord must accept an unexpired government-issued ID, ITIN, or SSN and may not require an SSN or reject an application because one is absent.
Public assistance includes housing assistance. Apply criteria without source-based disadvantage and assess affordability using the tenant-paid rent portion.
