Tenant Information Sheet Form Software
The purpose of this form is for you to be able to give it to the tenant, and have the tenant thoroughly fill out this form, in the tenant’s own handwriting. It allows you to obtain more information from the tenant than you would obtain if you just filled out the lease. It also secures you from accusations by the tenant that your manager miswrote the tenant’s contact information (which would be a nightmare for you if you foreclosed and sent everything to an address that the tenant alleges to be wrong). If a tenant fills out a Tenant Information Sheet, the sheet will contain the mailing address of the tenant. Then your manager will copy the exact information from the Tenant Information Sheet to the lease. You will then have something in your file in the tenant’s own handwriting confirming the tenant’s address so the tenant cannot accuse you of sending correspondence to the wrong address.
This sheet also obtains the tenant’s Social Security Number (for individuals), tax ID number (for businesses), and driver’s license number (for individuals), all in the tenant’s own handwriting. This information could be vital if you ever wanted to report a tenant’s debt to a credit reporting agency or do a background check on the tenant. In addition, for a business tenant, this form clarifies the authority of the person signing the lease. The business Tenant Information Sheet also requires the business tenant to list all people who will have access rights. One of the most important things you can do in leasing to a business is make sure that the person signing the lease signs it in his correct capacity (as agent for the entity), and make sure you have a clear understanding of who exactly is authorized to enter into the space.
