What Is a Georgia Rental Application?

A rental application in the state of Georgia is a form that lets a landlord find a tenant in a clear, organized, and uniform fashion. Although a rental application should be standardized and adhere to federal fair housing laws, it still asks personal questions to allow landlords to find the most responsible, financially stable tenant for their rental. Rental Applications generally ask for an applicant’s name, previous addresses, and other information, such as income and prior evictions or bankruptcies.
