As a landlord, you\u2019re legally allowed to collect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Personal information<\/strong>: Name, date of birth, email, phone number, Social Security number, smoking status, vehicle information, and emergency contact info<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rental history<\/strong>: Current and previous addresses<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employment and income history<\/strong>: Current employment status, income, and credit details<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal and professional references<\/strong>: Contact details for previous landlords, current and previous employers, and other references to verify information<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pet details<\/strong>: Number, type, breed, and size<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Landlords can streamline this process by collecting applications digitally rather than letting stacks of paperwork pile up. Doing everything online is also more secure than relying on remembering to shred every application.<\/p>\n<p>To speed up the process \u2014 and cut back on paper shredding \u2014 property management software like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turbotenant.com\/\">TurboTenant<\/a> can help landlords collect applications digitally. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turbotenant.com\/rental-application\/\">free application form<\/a> complies with Maryland laws and streamlines securing a new tenant. When paired with other tools that automate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turbotenant.com\/collect-rent-payments-online\/\">rent collection<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turbotenant.com\/rental-lease-agreement\/\">online lease agreements<\/a>, we make it easy to manage properties from anywhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttsf-rich-text legal\">\n<h2><strong>Pre-Screener<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you find yourself inundated with applications, consider adding a pre-screener to your application workflow. A pre-screener (included with every application when you use TurboTenant) helps you quickly determine whether an applicant could qualify for your rental.<\/p>\n<p>Residential pre-screeners often ask for a tenant\u2019s:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Basic contact info,<\/li>\n<li>Employment status,<\/li>\n<li>Current income,<\/li>\n<li>Self-reported credit score,<\/li>\n<li>Desired move-in date,<\/li>\n<li>Number of occupants,<\/li>\n<li>Smoking status,<\/li>\n<li>Pets, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While pre-screeners are a handy, time-saving tool, they\u2019re not a substitute for a fillable Maryland rental application or a thorough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turbotenant.com\/tenant-screening\/\">tenant screening<\/a> process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttsf-rich-text legal\">\n<h2><strong>Federal Application Laws<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To maintain a level playing field in housing, multiple federal laws prevent discrimination and protect tenants when seeking housing. Your application must comply with the following regulations:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fair Housing Act (FHA)<\/strong>: This law prohibits landlords from discriminating against applicants on the basis of several protected characteristics. Landlords cannot advertise housing in favor of, or deny an application based on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Race,<\/li>\n<li>Color,<\/li>\n<li>Sex,<\/li>\n<li>Religion,<\/li>\n<li>National origin,<\/li>\n<li>Disability, or<\/li>\n<li>Familial status.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Landlords can\u2019t ask about these characteristics on an application or in person, and this applies to tenant selection teams, property owners, or any employees who work for the owner (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/crt\/fair-housing-act-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">42 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 3601\u20133619<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA)<\/strong>: This longstanding federal law prohibits discrimination using many of the same criteria as the FHA. Per the ECOA, landlords cannot discriminate against applicants who receive public assistance or have lived in public housing. It also sets guidelines for how landlords can use a credit report when making housing decisions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/crt\/equal-credit-opportunity-act-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 1691\u20131691f<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)<\/strong>: Under the ADA, landlords cannot deny an application based on a disability.

If a landlord denies an application based on the results of the check, they must notify the tenant and give the reason for the denial (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/legal-library\/browse\/statutes\/fair-credit-reporting-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15 U.S.C. \u00a7 1681 et seq.<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Civil Rights Act of 1866<\/strong>: This federal law prohibits landlords from discriminating against rental applicants based on race or color (<a href=\"https:\/\/constitutioncenter.org\/the-constitution\/historic-document-library\/detail\/civil-rights-act-of-1866-april-9-1866-an-act-to-protect-all-persons-in-the-united-states-in-their-civil-rights-and-furnish-the-means-of-their-vindication\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">42 U.S.C. \u00a7 1981<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttsf-rich-text legal\">\n<h2><strong>Maryland Application Laws<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to federal laws, each state enacts its own rules to guide landlords in processing rental applications. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turbotenant.com\/rental-lease-agreement\/Maryland\/laws\/\">Maryland landlord-tenant laws<\/a> provide additional protections for tenants beyond those offered by nationwide guidelines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source of income<\/strong>: As of 2026, Maryland law protects tenants from discrimination based on their source of income, prohibiting landlords from denying applications based on a tenant&#8217;s current or past receipt of public housing assistance (<a href=\"https:\/\/mgaleg.maryland.gov\/2026RS\/bills\/hb\/hb0231F.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">House Bill 231<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Criminal history<\/strong>: Maryland landlords may consider up to the previous 7 years of an applicant\u2019s criminal history, but can base their decision only on convictions (<a href=\"https:\/\/mgaleg.maryland.gov\/mgawebsite\/Laws\/StatuteText?article=grp&amp;section=8-218&amp;enactments=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Md.

Under federal law, emotional support animals (ESAs) and service animals are not considered pets. However, you should still collect information about any animals the tenant plans to bring into the rental.<\/p>\n<p>While landlords cannot discriminate against tenants for having an ESA or service animal, they can hold the tenant liable for any damage the animal causes to the property.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pet information<\/strong>: Ask for details about the tenant\u2019s pet, including its type, breed, size, and whether it qualifies as a service animal or an ESA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fair Housing Act (FHA)<\/strong>: The FHA prohibits landlords from denying housing to tenants solely because they have an ESA or service animal, regardless of the animal\u2019s type, breed, or size. Landlords also cannot charge pet rent or require a pet deposit for these animals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttsf-rich-text legal\">\n<h2><strong>Denial Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When evaluating Maryland rental application forms, landlords must apply the same standards equally across all applicants.
