Nevada Rental Application Form Template

What the Nevada rental application is

This is a four-page fillable PDF titled "Nevada Rental Application," marked "Rev. 11/09." It covers move-in costs, an applicant and a co-applicant, residence and employment history, credit references, vehicles, other occupants, pets, screening questions, and a nine-point disclosure that both applicants sign. It is a general template, not a form issued by the State of Nevada. Because the form dates from 2009, some printed terms, such as the non-refundable fee language, should be read alongside current Nevada law described below.

Who uses it

Nevada leasing agents, property managers, and landlords use it to process applications, and renters use it to apply with a roommate or partner. The form says that if more than two people are applying, each extra person needs an additional application.

What to have ready

• The property address, move-in date, rent, and the fee and deposit amounts the landlord quoted
• SSN, driver's license number and state, and birth date for each applicant
• Current and prior addresses, with landlord or mortgage holder name and phone
• Current employer, and a prior employer if you have been at your job less than 3 years
• Bank account details, vehicle details, and pet information

Nevada rules on fees and deposits

General information as of October 2026, not legal advice.

• Application fees: Assembly Bill 121 (2025), effective October 1, 2025, requires a landlord to refund an application, credit report, or background check fee if it rents the unit to someone else and never did the activity the fee paid for. It also bars collecting those fees for a minor in the applicant's household. That can override this form's "non-refundable" wording.
• Deposit limit and return: under NRS 118A.242, total security, including last month's rent, may not exceed 3 months' periodic rent. The landlord must give an itemized written accounting and return any remaining amount within 30 days after the tenancy ends.

Common mistakes

• Forgetting the initials on every page, which the form says stops processing.
• Leaving the business-day blanks in the disclosure empty. Fill them in with the agent before signing.
• Skipping the prior employer section when you have less than 3 years at your current job.
• Answering the conviction question for yourself only. It covers any applicant or occupant.
