How does a landlord inform a potential tenant that they failed a background check. Do you have any forms for that?

Simply sending a letter notifying them that the results of their tenant screening did not hold up to your standard for a tenant and that you will continue to seek a more qualified tenant. Make sure whatever you state that it cannot be taken as discriminatory. People love to pull this card and say you would rent to them because of this or that but simply it is because they were not qualified financially or criminally.

If they ask what was wrong with the background check do I have to tell them

We've found its best to ask for verification or explanation. As it notes on the criminal report, it's not always the same person and can be a case of mistaken identity or identity theft.

Michael, EZ Landlord forms offers a telephone screening document. That's what I use.

Hello all, Please fill out your information on application, not your parent's information. when I send a lease agreement then one of your parent need to sign 'co-signer agreement. Jatin.
