Thank you for your patience. You’re on the right track by having your LLC already set up.

You’ll want two sets of rental applications:

Residential Rental Application (Apartments, Homes, Garages) – should include:

  • Applicant name, SSN, DOB, phone, email
  • Current and past rental history
  • Employment and income verification
  • Emergency contacts
  • Consent for credit/criminal background check
  • Pet information (if applicable)
  • Co-applicants (if any)
  • Authorization signature

Commercial Rental Application (For garages/business tenants) – should include:

  • Business name, type, EIN
  • Responsible party/owner’s name and contact
  • Business address
  • Years in operation
  • Proof of income/revenue
  • Trade references
  • Intended use of premises
  • Insurance certificate (if required)
  • Authorization for credit/background check
  • Signature

Accepting HUD Vouchers/Subsidies (Section 8, Shelter Assistance):

  • Register with the Local Housing Authority (PHA) in Pennsylvania.
  • Contact your county’s PHA and complete the Landlord Application. This typically includes:
    • Proof of ownership
    • Your LLC’s EIN and contact details
    • Completed W-9
    • Direct deposit form
    • Lease agreement that matches HUD’s guidelines
  • Pass a unit inspection (HUD will inspect for Housing Quality Standards).
  • Sign a Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract with the Housing Authority.

Lexi, Chatbot

It sounds like you need assistance with drafting rental applications for your LLC. Have you already created any templates or forms for your other properties?

As well as single family homes. I would also like to find out how to accept vouchers or subsidies from HUD or the battered women shelter.

Lexi

Lexi, Chatbot

Are there any specific requirements or questions you want to include in these new rental applications for garages and apartments?

I already have the LLC. I just need rental applications, both commercial and residential.

For battered women’s shelters, contact local organizations such as Women’s Center of Montgomery County, Safe Berks, or PCADV. Many place clients in transitional/emergency housing and may partner with landlords. Ask about subsidy programs or housing grants.
