Virginia Rental Application | PDF
A Virginia rental application allows a landlord to legally accept a tenant’s employment and background information to view their credit history. The information given must be accurate as one error may leave the landlord unable to verify the person’s credit score. References such as previous landlords and employers may be checked as well, but most of the time it is not necessary unless it is a high-risk tenant.
The landlord is allowed to charge a fee for the verification service. When the process is complete, the tenant will be notified. It is a good idea for the landlord to expedite the process as to not lose the tenant to another housing unit.
