West Virginia Rental Application
A West Virginia Rental Application provides those that own or manage property with a means of leasing to the most credible renter for a residential property.
Once a person shows interest in signing a lease for a rental, the landlord will give or send them the blank form. Once the applicant completes the form in full, the landlord will go through the form looking for any warning signs, things that warrant a denial, call listed references, and run credit, criminal, and other background checks.
