Rent Verification Form or Landlord Verification form

[Cel Arrington]

Hey BP! 

We are being asked to provide a rent verification form, also seeing them called a landlord verification form.  Does anyone have a good template we could use for this?  For once I'm finding it difficult to find a free resource here.  

Also, I'm hoping someone can give me some clarity around what this form actually needs.  We are being told by a previous landlord that the tenant has to sign this form giving them permission to give us this information.  That seems fishy to me, so I wanted to see if that's actually a law or if they are just being difficult.  

Thanks!
