Homepage ↦ Fill Out Your National Apartment Association Rental Form
Article Structure

The National Apartment Association (NAA) Rental Application form is designed to gather comprehensive information from prospective tenants seeking to reside in rental properties, ensuring that landlords and property managers have all the necessary details for their evaluation process. This form requires crucial personal information from each co-applicant and occupant over the age of 18, while also allowing spouses to apply jointly. Essential data such as full name, address, and personal identification numbers are collected to establish identity and eligibility. The application probes deeper into the applicant’s background by requesting employment history, income details, and both rental and criminal history, thus allowing landlords to assess the likelihood of timely rent payments and responsible behavior. Additionally, it includes sections on current housing status, references, pet ownership, and emergency contacts. Each applicant must affirm the accuracy of their submitted information and provide authorization for background checks. Given the rigorous nature of the form, completing it promptly and accurately is critical to facilitate a swift application process and improve chances for approval.

Application Agreement

1.Lease Contract Information. The Lease Contract contemplated by the parties is attached or, if no Lease Contract is attached, the Lease Contract will be the current Lease Contract noted above. Special information and conditions must be explicitly noted on an attached Lease Contract or in the Contemplated Lease Contract Information above.

2.Application Fee (nonrefundable). You have delivered to our represen- tative an application fee in the amount indicated below, and this payment partially defrays the cost of administrative paperwork. It's nonrefundable.

3.Application Deposit (may or may not be refundable). In addition to any application fee, you have delivered to our representative an application deposit in the amount indicated below. The application deposit is not a security deposit. However, it will be credited toward the required security deposit when the Lease Contract has been signed by all parties; OR it will be refunded under paragraph 10 if you are not approved; OR it will be retained by us as liquidated damages if you fail to sign or attempt to withdraw under paragraph 6 or 7.

4.Approval When Lease Contract Is Signed in Advance. If you and all co-applicants have already signed the Lease Contract when we approve the Application, our representative will notify you (or one of you if there are co-applicants) of our approval, sign the Lease Contract, and then credit the application deposit of all applicants toward the required security deposit.

5.Approval When Lease Contract Isn't Yet Signed. If you and all co- applicants have not signed the Lease Contract when we approve the Application, our representative will notify you (or one of you if there are co-applicants) of the approval, sign the Lease Contract when you and all co-applicants have signed, and then credit the application deposit of all applicants toward the required security deposit.

6.If You Fail to Sign Lease Contract After Approval. Unless we authorize otherwise in writing, you and all co-applicants must sign the Lease Contract within 3 days after we give you our approval in person or by telephone or within 5 days after we mail you our approval. If you or any co-applicant fails to sign as required, we may keep the application deposit as liquidated damages, and terminate all further obligations under this Agreement.

7.If You Withdraw Before Approval. You and any co-applicant may not withdraw your application or the application deposit. If you or any co- applicant withdraws an Application or notifies us that you've changed your mind about renting the dwelling unit, we'll be entitled to retain all application deposits as liquidated damages, and the parties will then have no further obligation to each other.

8.Completed Application. An Application will not be considered "com- pleted" and will not be processed until all of the following have been

provided to us (unless checked): Â a separate Application has been fully filled out and signed by you and each co-applicant; Â an application fee has been paid to us; Â an application deposit has been paid to us. If no

item is checked, all are necessary for the Application to be considered completed.

9.Nonapproval. We will notify you whether you've been approved within 10 days after the date we receive a completed Application. Your Application will be considered "disapproved" if we fail to notify you of your approval within 10 days after we have received a completed Application. Notification may be in person or by mail or telephone unless you have requested that notification be by mail. You must not assume approval until you receive actual notice of approval. The 10-day time period may be changed only by separate written agreement.

10.Refund after Nonapproval. If you or any co-applicant is disapproved or deemed disapproved under paragraph 9, we'll refund all application deposits within 30 days of such disapproval. Refund checks may be made payable to all co-applicants and mailed to one applicant.

11.Extension of Deadlines. If the deadline for signing, approving, or re- funding under paragraphs 6, 9, or 10 falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a state or federal holiday, the deadline will be extended to the end of the next day.

12. Notice to or from Co-applicants. Any notice we give you or your co- applicant is considered notice to all co-applicants; and any notice from you or your co-applicant is considered notice from all co-applicants.

after: (1) all

parties have signed the contemplated Lease Contract

other rental

documents referred to in the Lease Contract; and (2)

If you fail to answer any question or give false information, we may reject the application, retain all application fees and deposits as liquidated damages for our time and expense, and terminate your right of occupancy.

What You Should Know About This Form

What is the National Apartment Association Rental Form?

The National Apartment Association Rental Form is a standardized application used by prospective tenants to apply for rental properties. It collects essential information about applicants, including personal details, employment history, rental history, and credit information to help property managers assess eligibility for tenants.

Who needs to submit the rental application?

Each co-applicant and each occupant aged 18 years and older must submit a separate application. However, spouses may submit a single application if they are applying together.

What information do I need to provide on the application?

The application requires personal details such as full name, address, and driver's license number. Employment information, income, previous rental history, pet ownership, and potential criminal history are also requested. It's important to provide accurate and complete answers to ensure proper evaluation.

Is the application fee refundable?

The application fee is non-refundable. It partially covers the administrative costs of processing the application. An application deposit may be required, which could be refundable under certain conditions if the application is not approved.

How quickly will I be informed about my application status?

You will typically be notified of your application status within 10 days after the property manager receives a completed application. If you do not receive notification within this timeframe, your application is considered disapproved.

What happens if my application is approved?

If your application is approved, you must sign the lease contract within three days after receiving approval, or five days if notified by mail. Failure to sign may result in keeping your application deposit as liquidated damages.

Do I have to disclose any criminal or rental history?

Yes, you must disclose any past rental issues, such as evictions or lease violations, and any criminal history, including charges or convictions. This information is crucial for property managers during the assessment process.

What are the security deposit requirements?

The security deposit amount will be specified in the lease contract. The application deposit may be credited towards the security deposit upon signing the lease. Failing to provide the required security deposit after approval could lead to the application being denied.

Can I withdraw my application once submitted?

Once submitted, you cannot withdraw your application without forfeiting the application deposit. If you decide not to proceed after submission, the application deposit will be retained as liquidated damages.

What should I do if I have a medical emergency?

The application allows you to list a doctor to notify in case of an emergency, but it's important to note that the property owner is not responsible for providing medical information or contacting emergency personnel. You should ensure your emergency contacts are established outside of the rental process.

Common mistakes

When filling out the National Apartment Association Rental form, it’s easy to make mistakes that could delay the application process or even lead to a denial. Understanding these common errors can help applicants improve their chances of approval.

One frequent mistake is failing to provide complete personal information. Each co-applicant and anyone aged 18 or older must submit a separate application; however, many individuals forget to include all required names and details. Ensuring that the full name, address, and identification details match exactly as they appear on government IDs is crucial.

Another common error involves inaccurate financial information. Applicants often misrepresent their gross monthly income or overlook providing necessary details about current and previous employment. It’s important to be honest and thorough in this section, as discrepancies may raise red flags during the application review process.

People sometimes neglect to include past credit problems or fail to provide explanatory notes when applicable. This can lead to assumptions by the landlord or management company, resulting in potential disapproval. Providing clear explanations in the specified areas can help clarify any concerns earlier in the evaluation process.

Additionally, many applicants make the mistake of leaving sections unchecked, especially regarding rental or criminal history. Failure to check or answer might lead to the assumption of an unsatisfactory background, causing the application to be dismissed. It’s better to clarify any history rather than leaving it blank.

Many applicants also forget to include current contact information. They may leave out phone numbers or email addresses, making it difficult for potential landlords to reach them for follow-ups or approvals. Keeping this contact information updated is essential for smooth communication.

Furthermore, an incomplete emergency contact section can cause issues. Some people do not list an emergency contact or forget to provide full information about the person. Landlords may see this as a lack of preparedness and stable support.

Another worry arises when applicants fail to sign or date the application. Whether it's the applicant or spouse, every incomplete signature can lead to a processing delay. Each application requires all necessary signatures before it can be considered complete and eligible for review.

Lastly, overlooking the application fees can be a critical error. Some individuals neglect to include the required fees or fail to understand their nonrefundable nature. Not including these fees can hinder the entire process, making it clear that applicants must ensure all fees are submitted along with their applications.

Documents used along the form

The National Apartment Association Rental form serves as a primary document for prospective renters. Alongside it, several other forms and documents are commonly used to complete the rental process. Each of these documents serves a distinct role in establishing the rental agreement and ensuring that all necessary information is clearly provided and understood by both parties.

  • Rental Agreement or Lease Contract: This legally binding document outlines the terms of the rental, including the length of the lease, rental amount, security deposit, and any rules or obligations of both the landlord and tenant.
  • Application Fee Receipt: This document acknowledges payment of the application fee, which is typically nonrefundable. It provides the landlord with compensation for processing the rental application.
  • Credit Report Authorization Consent: This form allows the landlord to obtain a credit report on the applicant. It helps the landlord assess the applicant's creditworthiness and financial responsibility.
  • Pet Policy Addendum: If the tenant has or intends to have pets, this document outlines rules regarding pets, potential pet deposits, and any restrictions related to pet ownership.
  • Security Deposit Agreement: This document details the terms surrounding the security deposit, including the amount, conditions for its return, and any potential deductions for damages or unpaid rent.
  • Move-In Inspection Checklist: This form lists the apartment's condition at the time of move-in, documenting any existing damages. This is important for both the tenant and landlord to avoid disputes at the end of the lease.
  • Lease Termination Notice: Should either party wish to terminate the lease, this document serves as formal notice, outlining the reasons and timeline for termination as per the terms of the lease.
  • Tenant Insurance Verification: This document confirms that the tenant has acquired renter's insurance, if required by the landlord. It protects both parties in the case of damage or liability issues.

Each of these documents plays a crucial role in the rental process, providing clarity and protection for both the landlord and tenant. Understanding their purpose can facilitate a smoother rental experience and prevent misunderstandings in the future.

Similar forms

  • Rental Application Form: Similar to the National Apartment Association Rental form, this document collects personal details of applicants, including income, employment history, and rental history, to assess their eligibility for renting a property.

  • Lease Agreement: This document outlines the terms and conditions between a landlord and tenant. It includes details about rental payments, duration of lease, and responsibilities of both parties, similar to how the NAA form provides a preliminary agreement to those terms.

  • Background Check Authorization Form: Like the NAA form, this document allows property managers to verify an applicant’s criminal and credit history, ensuring a safer rental environment for all residents.

  • Employment Verification Form: This document is used to confirm the income and employment status of applicants. It serves a similar purpose, as the NAA form asks about the current employment and gross monthly income.

  • Tenant Screening Report: The NAA Rental form is similar in function to a tenant screening report, which provides a comprehensive overview of an applicant's rental history and credit score to help landlords make informed decisions.

  • Pet Application Form: If a property allows pets, this form gathers specifics about pet ownership, akin to the NAA form’s inquiries about potential animals living in the unit.

  • Emergency Contact Form: Both forms request details about an individual's emergency contacts, ensuring that the landlord can reach someone in case of an emergency.

  • Rental History Verification Form: This document is used to verify past rental experiences and references, sharing similarities with the NAA form, which asks for details about previous rentals.

  • Co-signer Application Form: Similar to the NAA Rental form, this document collects the personal information of a co-signer who will financially support the applicant's lease agreement.

  • Security Deposit Receipt: When entering a rental agreement, this document acknowledges the receipt of a security deposit, reinforcing the financial responsibilities outlined in the NAA form.

Dos and Don'ts

  • Do provide accurate and complete information. Make sure all responses match your official documents.
  • Do list any former names or aliases. Omitting this can create future discrepancies.
  • Do disclose any pets you have. Include details about type, breed, and weight as required.
  • Do include your emergency contact's information clearly. Ensure they are over 18 and not living with you.
  • Don't leave any sections blank unless stated otherwise. A completed application is essential for processing.
  • Don't provide false information. Misrepresentation can lead to application rejection or legal consequences.

Misconceptions

Misconceptions about the National Apartment Association Rental Form

  • All occupants must apply separately. It's a common myth that all individuals living in the apartment must fill out their own rental applications. In truth, spouses can submit a single application together. This reduces redundancy and simplifies the process for couples.
  • Your application can be withdrawn anytime. Some may believe that withdrawing your application is easy. However, once you submit an application and deposit, you cannot withdraw without potential consequences. This could lead to the loss of your application deposit.
  • Approval is automatic after submission. There's a perception that submitting the application guarantees approval. This is not the case. Often, the application will take time to process, and all information must be verified.
  • Credit details won't impact my application. Many assume that their credit history is irrelevant. Unfortunately, this is not true. Your credit history plays a significant role in determining whether your rental application will be approved or denied.

Key takeaways

When filling out and using the National Apartment Association rental form, several key points are essential to ensure a smooth process for applicants.

  • Individual Applications Required: Each co-applicant and any occupant aged 18 or older must complete a separate rental application. Spouses may submit one application together, simplifying the process.
  • Accurate Information is Crucial: Applicants must provide accurate personal details, including their full name, address, driver's license number, and social security number as shown on their ID. Inaccuracies can delay the application process.
  • Disclosure of Background Information: The form requires disclosure of rental and criminal history. Failure to disclose necessary information may lead to rejection or legal consequences, so honesty is vital.
  • Application Fees and Deposits: Understand that the application fee is nonrefundable. Additionally, an application deposit may be required, which could be refundable under specific circumstances. Be aware of these financial commitments before submitting.

By keeping these points in mind, applicants can navigate the rental application process effectively and increase their chances of approval.
