US Legal Forms

Free rental agreements are one perk we offer. A legal state specific apartment rental agreement is essential to protecting your assets and following state landlord tenant laws and regulations. A generic lease will NOT properly cover your rental property or the local laws in your State. ARPOLA landlord association members have access to FREE state specific leases and legal notices.

All ARPOLA members have access to over 40 important landlord forms in the Member’s Area. See a complete list of forms here.

Resident Investigative Screening & Background Check

Resident Screening allows you to verify a potential resident’s application and eliminates those who provided false information!

ARPOLA offers 2 solutions to assist you with screening your applicants.

• Instant Screening provided by AAA Landlord Services and is a quick way to know if a tenant meets your credit requirements for an apartment rental agreement. Independent landlords are not able to run a full credit report (due to federal laws) but can see if a tenant has passed an instant credit tenant screening.
• Investigative Screening is provided by Investigative Screening & Consulting and is the best resident screening in the business.  They do this by providing an instant credit bureau and then take it miles further by adding the most thorough criminal and residential backgrounds available through the use of their own private investigators. The process takes no longer than six business hours to complete.

ARPOLA believes by using Investigative Screening you are much more likely to secure a high quality resident. This service will help you lower your risk property damage, eviction, and criminal activity on your property and the high cost in lost rent, repairs, legal cost, and your time.

CrimShield Certification

Crimshield is the nation’s leading verifier of service personnel provider backgrounds. CrimShield verifies that plumbers, electricians, cable technicians, rental property owners, rental property managers and any other person providing service on your property has a clear criminal history and passes a verifiable background check. CrimShield has a website for you and/or your tenant to verify the photo and identification of the person performing service on your property. ARPOLA recommends that all owners and managers pass the CrimShield certification as an added level of security for current and future tenants. Learn more here.

Master Asset Protection Program

The Master Asset Protection Plan is designed to provide basic to premium asset protection for rental property owners.  Our owners need to consider the possibility of legal action from a tenant or an associate of a tenant due to an emergency or injury on your property.
