Broker Relationship Disclosure

Before working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom the broker represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner's agent. A broker who acts as a subagent represents the owner in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer's agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker is obligated by law to treat you honestly.

IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE OWNER/LANDLORD: The broker becomes the owner's agent by entering into an agreement with the owner, usually through a written - listing agreement, or by agreeing to act as a subagent by accepting an offer of sub-agency from the listing broker. A subagent may work in a different real estate office. A listing broker or subagent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner's agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an owner's agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to the agent.

IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE BUYER/TENANT: The broker becomes the buyer's agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer's agent can assist the owner but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer's agent anything the owner would not want the buyer to know because a buyer's agent must disclose to the buyer any material information known to the agent.

If you choose to have a broker represent you, you should enter into a written agreement with the broker that clearly establishes the broker's obligations and your obligations. The agreement should state how and by whom the broker will be paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation, if any, you wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not necessarily establish that the broker represents you. If you have any questions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the broker, you should resolve those questions before proceeding.

What You Should Know About This Form

What is the Long And Foster Rental Application form?

The Long And Foster Rental Application form is a comprehensive document that potential renters must complete to apply for a rental property listed by Long & Foster Real Estate. This form collects necessary information, including personal details, employment history, and references, essential for the rental approval process. It ensures that applicants meet various requirements set by property owners.

What is the application fee, and is it refundable?

The application fee is $45 for each adult applicant aged 18 years or older. This fee is non-refundable, meaning that if the application is denied or the applicant decides not to proceed, this fee will not be returned. It's crucial to understand that all adults must submit separate applications, each accompanied by this fee.

What documents do I need to provide with my application?

When submitting your rental application, you must include proof of income. Acceptable documents include two recent pay stubs, the most recent W-2 form, an employee offer letter dated within the last month, or a Leave and Earnings Statement if you are military personnel. If self-employed, include your latest filed tax return and Schedule C. Additionally, if you have a housing voucher, include a valid Section Eight/Housing Choice Voucher in your application package.

How does Long And Foster evaluate rental applications?

Rental applications are evaluated based on several criteria, including credit score, income verification, and rental history. Generally, applicants should have a minimum credit score of 600 and must demonstrate a verifiable income of 40 times the monthly rent. A satisfactory rental history, with no evictions in the past ten years, is also essential. Background checks, including criminal history, are conducted to ensure all occupants meet the property owner’s standards.

What happens if my application is accepted?

If your application is accepted, you must sign the lease within 72 hours. Failing to do so may result in the property being made available to other applicants. Moreover, the first month’s rent, paid via certified funds, must be presented at the time of lease signing. This swift turnaround is crucial to secure your rental.

Can I apply if I have pets?

While many properties do allow pets, acceptance is at the homeowner's discretion. If you have pets, it’s advisable to communicate this to the listing agent or property manager before you submit your application. This proactive approach can help clarify any restrictions or additional fees associated with pet ownership.

Do I need to visit the property before applying?

Yes, you must visit the property and gather the showing agent's contact information before submitting your application. This step ensures that you are genuinely interested in the property and ready to provide necessary details during the application process, which can expedite approval.

What if I have a criminal record?

Having a criminal record can affect your rental application. Long & Foster often disqualifies applicants with felony convictions or certain violent offenses within the last ten years. If there are variances in your background that might affect acceptance, use the space provided on the application to explain these circumstances thoroughly.

How can I appeal a denied application?

If your rental application is denied, it’s important to contact the property manager or listing agent for clarification. They may provide insight into the reasons for denial. Depending on the situation, you might have the option to present additional information or documentation that could help reconsider your application.

Common mistakes

Completing the Long And Foster Rental Application form can be a straightforward process, but several common mistakes can lead to delays or issues with the application. One frequent error is providing incomplete contact information. Applicants often forget to include comprehensive details like a valid telephone number or an email address. This information is essential for landlords or agents to reach applicants for follow-ups or notifications.

Another common mistake involves the legibility of the Rental Application. Handwritten responses that are difficult to read can result in misunderstandings or may even lead to the application being rejected. Using clear handwriting or typing responses can beautifully mitigate such problems.

Many applicants overlook the necessity for signatures. Each Rental Application must be signed to confirm the accuracy of the information provided and the agreement with the terms outlined in the application. Failure to sign may result in processing delays.

One notable oversight is failing to pay the required application fee at the time of submission. The $45 fee per adult serves as a processing charge and needs to be paid promptly. Ignoring this step could lead to immediate rejection of the application.

Another critical area to focus on is proof of income. Applicants sometimes fail to provide all necessary documentation, such as recent pay stubs or W-2 forms, leading to delays in verifying financial eligibility. Ensuring all relevant documents are included can streamline the process significantly.

Providing outdated or inaccurate information about previous residences is another common pitfall. This can affect the landlord’s ability to confirm rental history. It's crucial to double-check that all addresses and contact details for former landlords or property managers are current and correct.

Applicants may also neglect to address any variances from the suggested requirements on the application. It's important to document and explain any credit issues or discrepancies clearly and succinctly so that the landlord understands the context.

Lastly, another frequent mistake occurs when applicants do not review the application checklist thoroughly. By neglecting this key step, applicants may inadvertently omit required documents, which can impede the application process. Therefore, reviewing each item on the checklist ensures that everything necessary is properly completed and included.

Documents used along the form

When applying for a rental property using the Long And Foster Rental Application form, several additional documents and forms are often required to complete the process smoothly. Each of these documents supports the application and provides important information to help landlords assess the applicant’s eligibility. Here is a list of commonly used forms:

Credit Report Authorization Form: This form allows the landlord or property manager to run a credit check on the applicant, which is crucial for evaluating financial responsibility.
Proof of Income Documentation: Applicants need to submit recent pay stubs, W-2 forms, or other verifiable income sources that show their ability to pay rent. This documentation helps confirm financial stability.
Rental History Verification Form: This form asks for the applicant's previous rental addresses and landlords’ contact information to validate rental history, including payment punctuality and property care.
Tenant Background Check Release Form: This form gives permission for the landlord to conduct a background check, which may include criminal history and previous evictions.
Pet Application Form: If the applicant has pets, this form details pet information such as type, breed, and size. Some landlords have specific pet policies, and this clarifies any requirements or restrictions.
Letter of Recommendation: A reference letter from a previous landlord or employer can strengthen the application. It showcases the applicant's reliability and behavior as a tenant or employee.
Application Processing Fee Payment Receipt: Proof of payment for the non-refundable application fee must be submitted at the time of application to avoid delays in processing.
Section 8 Voucher (if applicable): For applicants using a housing voucher, a valid Section 8 voucher or Housing Choice Certificate should be included. This document confirms eligibility for subsidized housing assistance.

Gathering these documents ahead of time can help streamline the rental application process, reducing potential delays. Be sure to check the specific requirements for your desired property, as they may vary by landlord or property management company.

Similar forms

This typically includes personal data, employment history, and rental history, ensuring landlords have a comprehensive understanding of potential tenants.
Credit Application: A credit application focuses on the financial background of an individual. Like the rental application, it assesses income, credit history, and debts to determine the applicant's financial reliability and ability to meet rental obligations.
Employment Verification Form: This document confirms an applicant's employment status, salary, and duration with an employer. Similar to the rental application, it aims to validate the income details provided by the applicant to ensure they can afford the prospective rental payments.
Background Check Consent Form: This form grants permission for a landlord to conduct a background check. It resembles the rental application in that it requires the applicant to provide personal information, including the Social Security number, to facilitate the verification process.
Rental History Verification Form: This document is used to gather information about an applicant's previous rental experiences. Like the Long And Foster form, it requests details such as rental addresses and contact information for previous landlords to confirm tenancy and payment history.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Long And Foster Rental Application form, there are certain practices to embrace and others to avoid. Adhering to these guidelines can help ensure your application is processed smoothly.

DO carefully read and complete each section of the application. Ensure that all information is accurate and legible.
DO provide the required documentation, such as proof of income, copies of pay stubs, or W-2 forms.
DO confirm the application fee payment details and ensure you have the funds available, as failure to pay a returned check fee can complicate matters.
DO check the application for completion before submission. This includes verifying that the Social Security Number (SSN) and other personal details are correctly filled in.
DO ask questions if you don't understand any part of the application process. Engaging with the listing agent can provide clarity.

DON'T submit the application without first visiting the property. You need to have seen the place and have the agent’s contact information handy.
DON'T forget that all adult applicants must submit their own applications, regardless of their employment status.
DON'T include inaccurate information. Misleading statements can lead to the cancellation of your application.
DON'T assume that having a pet will not affect your application. Always verify with the listing agent regarding pet policies.
DON'T overlook the 72-hour signing requirement after your application is accepted. Delays can affect your chance of securing the rental.

Misconceptions

When it comes to the Long And Foster Rental Application form, several misconceptions can lead to confusion. Here are six common misconceptions about the application process, along with clarifications:

1. Only one application is needed for all adults. Each adult applicant over the age of 18 must fill out a separate rental application form. This requirement ensures that all individuals are clearly identified and their information is separately assessed.
2. The application fee is refundable. The application fee of $45.00 per adult is non-refundable. This means that even if an applicant is not approved, the fee will not be returned.
3. Employment verification is not necessary. Applicants must provide proof of income, which may include pay stubs, tax returns, or other documentation. This requirement is essential for demonstrating financial stability to the landlord.
4. Pets are always accepted. Whether pets are allowed depends on the property owner’s discretion. Applicants should inquire with the listing agent if they have pets before applying.
5. An application can be submitted without seeing the property. Applicants must visit the property before submitting an application. Verification of the showing agent's information is also necessary during the application process.
6. The application is unnecessary if prior rental history is perfect. Regardless of previous rental history, every applicant must complete the full application process. This ensures that all relevant information is collected uniformly from all applicants.

Understanding these misconceptions helps to clarify the rental application process with Long And Foster and promotes a smoother application experience.

Key takeaways

Ensure that all sections of the Long And Foster Rental Application are thoroughly completed. Missing information may delay the processing of your application.
Each adult applicant aged 18 or older must fill out their own application, with a processing fee of $45.00 applicable for each one. Be prepared for a charge of $50.00 if a check is returned.
Provide proof of income, which can include recent pay stubs, W-2s, or documentation of Social Security benefits. The homeowner requires this information to assess your financial stability.
Application approval typically depends on meeting specific criteria, including a minimum credit score of 600 and income that is 40 times the monthly rent. Having a satisfactory rental history is also important.
Once your application is accepted, you must sign the lease within 72 hours. If not signed in this timeframe, your application may be bypassed for the next interested party.
If pets are part of your household, contact the listing agent beforehand to determine if they are permitted. Each homeowner has the discretion to accept or deny pets.
