LOUISIANA RENTAL APPLICATION TEMPLATE 2 pdf Louisiana Rental Application Form

💵 Rental Application Fees

Louisiana **does not limit** application fees—landlords and agents may charge *any* reasonable amount to cover screening (e.g., credit/background checks). These fees are typically **non‑refundable**, unless the landlord didn’t comply with notice requirements. [1][4]

✉️ Written Disclosure Requirement

Under La. Rev. Stat. § 9:3258.1, landlords **must** provide written notice *before* collecting any application fee, stating:

  • The **amount** of the fee;
  • Which criteria may be considered (credit score, employment, criminal history, eviction record);
  • That applicants can include a statement (≤200 words) about hardship related to hurricanes or the COVID‑19 pandemic.

This notice may be given electronically (e‑signed OK) and applies to nearly all rental properties. [2][3]

✅ Screening Reports & FCRA Compliance

Landlords can require applicants to authorize/pay for credit or background checks. They must also comply with the federal FCRA—meaning they need **written consent**, and if rejecting an applicant based on the report, they must send an **adverse action notice** with report and consumer rights info. [4]

💰 Security Deposits & Prepaid Rent

Louisiana law places **no cap** on security deposit amounts. Landlords may also charge **non‑refundable fees**—such as pet or administrative fees—if clearly stated in the lease. Prepaid rent beyond the first month is also permissible. [4]

🏦 Deposit Return & Deductions

  • Deposits are considered the tenant’s property until lease termination.
  • Within **30 days** of lease end, landlords must return deposits or provide an **itemized list** of deductions. Acceptable deductions include unpaid rent or damages beyond normal wear and tear. [6]
  • If improperly withheld, tenants may recover the wrongfully withheld amount plus up to **$300**, whichever is greater. [4]

🚫 Unauthorized Fees & Disputes

There’s no statewide ban on application or admin fees, but these fees must be **reasonable**, **disclosed in writing**, and not used to *profit* at applicants’ expense. If fees are excessive or not disclosed properly, tenants may dispute them (e.g., small claims court, Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act).

These fees are typically **non-​refundable**. However, applicants must provide **written consent** for background or credit checks under the federal FCRA. [1][2]

✅ Exceptions — Applicant‑Paid Screening Reports

Landlords may require applicants to authorize and pay for background or credit screening. Tenants can sometimes choose to provide their own **recent self‑reports**, but the landlord may still **require use of official reports** processed under FCRA-compliant channels. [3]

📜 Tenant Copy Requirement

Under FCRA, if screening reports are used, applicants must be notified of **adverse decisions** and have rights to **dispute inaccuracies**. Written consent is also required. [4][5]

💰 Security Deposit & Fees

Kentucky law places **no cap** on security deposit amounts. Landlords are also permitted to charge **non‑refundable fees** such as pet or administrative fees. [6]

🏦 Deposit Handling & Return Timeline

  • Deposits must be held in a **separate account** (bank or lending institution)—landlords must inform tenants of the **account name, location, and number**.
  • Landlords have **30 days** after lease termination to return the deposit or provide an **itemized list of deductions**. Failing to comply may result in **forfeiture of the deposit** and liability for **twice the amount wrongfully withheld**, plus court costs.

🚫 Unauthorized Fees & Misuse of Deposits

There’s no explicit ban on “application” or “admin” fees in Kentucky—but Reddit users report abusive practices like excessive non‑refundable fees that are “pocketed even if the applicant isn’t approved.” Tenants have had to **dispute charges** or **charge back** through payment platforms. If you suspect unlawful charges or mishandled deposits, you may bring a claim in **small claims court** to recover **double damages** and fees.
