The Maryland Residential Rental Application enables a landlord to secure contextual information on a possible occupant requesting tenancy. The submitted form will allow the owner to gather data on the applicant to evaluate their ability to pay rent and while additionally checking their rental history for any potential red flags. The paperwork furnishes info such as contact details, income specifics, employment status, and rental history, which can be invaluable during the tenant selection process. There is space allocated for the individual to declare any other occupants that will accompany them in the home as well as presently owned pets the will reside in the dwelling. When applying for a leased property, it is customary to pay a non-refundable application fee upon submission. The state of Maryland enforces regulation on paid fees stating that if an application is withdrawn, part of the cost is obligated to be refunded for amounts over $25. The refund must be delivered to the applying individual within 15 days of the request per the Maryland Annotated Code § 8-213.
