Rental Application Documents Required

[Brady Boyer]

What documents do you require prospective tenants to submit when filling out a rental application? I'm planning on requiring photo ID, most recent W2 and 1040, 3 most recent pay stubs.

Does anyone require bank statements?

Their whole federal tax return? Most people wouldn’t even know what they were looking at if they got that. In any event, I would think you’d get some push back on that. 

I require a copy of their ID and pay stubs.
