The California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) application is the standard rental application for C.A.R. members. Here’s what it looks like, page by page.
Note: To send the C.A.R. application, first validate your membership. See Request a C.A.R. rental application.
The first few pages cover:
- Applicant type (tenant, tenant with co-tenants, or guarantor/co-signer) and the number of applicants
- Property details, including street address, agreed rent, and proposed move-in date
- Personal information, including emergency contact, vehicles, and pets
- Residential history
- Employment and income history
- Creditor information
- Personal references
- Nearest relatives
- Signature agreeing to the application terms
- Signature authorizing disclosure
The final two pages are signatures: one for the application fee and one for a notice about criminal background investigations under California law.
