The West Virginia rental application is used to collect the personal and background data of a lease candidate to determine whether they are suitable for a tenancy agreement. Through a review of the application form, the landlord can examine the candidate’s current and former rental history, income and employment information, personal references, and other details that might prove beneficial in evaluating the potential tenant’s character. After signing the rental application, the landlord will be authorized to perform a background check including a criminal record search and credit report.
