Frequently asked questions
How much can a landlord charge for a rental application in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire sets no statewide cap on application fees (RSA 540-A:3 (disclosure only)), so the amount is up to the landlord — market rates run $25-$75. No cap verified; written disclosure duties apply. Source: New Hampshire General Court.
What does a rental application include?
Identity and contact details, the property applied for, current address and landlord, employment and gross income, references, other occupants — and the applicant's signed consent to run background and credit checks, which federal law (FCRA) requires before screening.
Is the application a lease?
No. The application only collects information for screening. If approved, landlord and tenant then sign a lease — see our New Hampshire lease agreement template, which reflects New Hampshire's deposit and notice rules.
What can't a landlord ask?
Federal fair-housing law bars questions about race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status and disability, and several states add protections (source of income, criminal-history limits). Stick to screening-relevant facts: identity, housing history, income and references.
