A Mississippi rental application allows a landlord to view a tenant’s employment and income by providing their personal information. The application gives the tenant’s consent so the landlord can conduct a public records check and see if there are any reasons why not to rent a property to them. It is recommended the landlord request a fee to reimburse the landlord for the tenant verification.
Laws
- Application Fee – There is no state regulation regarding application fees (no statute).
- Security Deposit – There is no limit set by Mississippi law on how much the landlord may request (no statute).
