Residential Rental Application Information

Alternate Names:

A Residential Rental Application is sometimes referred to as a:

  • Tenant Rental Application
  • Tenancy Application Form
  • Rental Application Form
  • Private Rental Application
  • Pre-Tenancy Application Form

What is a Residential Rental Application form?

A Residential Rental Application is a document typically used by landlords or property managers to collect information from potential tenants looking to rent property. The form is used to screen for qualified applicants in a way that ensures fairness by providing a standard process for any and all prospective renters.

What tenant information can be collected with a Residential Rental Application?

Not all landlords will have the same rental application as other landlords, and some landlords who own several types of property might have separate applications that require different information for each property.

For example, if a landlord manages an adults-only residence in Sydney, they would likely include that information somewhere on the application and ask if the applicant has children.

So long as the landlord has the same vetting process and application form for every tenant applying for the same property, and they aren't asking illegal questions (e.g. about ethnicity, religion, etc.) as a way of discriminating against candidates, the application questions can be used to collect a wide range of information.

Typically, someone screening tenants might ask for the following details:

  • Personal information (the applicant's name, phone number, birthday, dependents, pets, etc.)
  • Tax file number to perform a credit check
  • Residential history (the applicant's current address, previous landlord's name, the length of their tenancy in that residence)
  • Employment details (their job history, position, time spent in that position, supervisor's name and contact information, and salary information)

The tenancy application also has another section where a tenant can authorize the criminal and credit background check. In this section, there is also space for the applicant to comment on anything negative that may show up on the criminal and credit background checks, like a bankruptcy claim.

What obligations do landlords have when collecting personal information about tenants?

Collecting personal information can be a sensitive situation, which is why there are regulations in place that landlords should adhere to.

The Privacy Act 1988 relates to the collection and treatment of personal information in Australia, and the obligations listed therein can affect how landlords collect and store the personal information of current tenants and rental applicants.

Some of these obligations include:

  • You have to advise the tenant on why you are collecting information and who you might share it with (e.g. another landlord who manages the property)
  • You cannot use the information for a purpose other than what is stated on the pre-tenancy application form
  • You cannot share the information with anyone without permission from the current or prospective tenant
  • The purpose for collecting the information must be lawful and the information must be relevant to the tenancy
  • The information should be stored in a secure location with reasonable safeguards (like a lock and key) in place
  • The tenant has a right to access and correct the information if necessary

Why should I use LawDepot's Residential Rental Application form?
