What Is a Kansas Rental Application?

In Kansas, a rental application is a document that landlords use to screen and vet applicants for rental property. This document allows landlords to collect information from all applicants in a uniform and organized manner and choose the ideal candidate. A rental application in Kansas gives landlords an in-depth look into an applicant’s finances, residential history, income, and other telling details that will help the landlord make the most well-informed decision on a tenant.

A rental application has benefits for the applicant as well. Rental applications must adhere to federal fair housing laws, which means that the applicant is protected from housing discrimination from the landlord.
