What Can Landlords Legally Ask on Rental Applications?

Posted by CoolMember5879 • October 19, 2025 • 10 comments

As a landlord, I'm curious about what I can legally ask from potential tenants. Can I request their employment history or credit score? Is it legal to ask for personal references? I'm also worried about privacy concerns – do tenants have to provide all this information? What are their rights?
