Full Tenant Screening
EZ Landlord Forms will offer credit and criminal reports for potential tenants. Screening is important as a landlord since you want to trust the people who are going to be living in your property.

This is a useful tool for landlords as they evaluate potential renters. These reports cost $29.95 and can be paid for by the landlord or the rental applicant. There is also an option to include an eviction history report which costs $4.99.

The Bad
- Contracts
- Website
- Rental Forms Only
Contracts
Of course the longer the commitment you make with this company, the cheaper your cost. But if you only need a few more documents than the free version offers, the One Month Option is almost double the price of their Pro Service and does not include access to all of its services.
The Pro Version's shortest contract is six months, and the monthly rate is $6.65. This service gives you access to everything EZ Landlord Forms offers and is cheaper than using a lawyer to help with your real estate questions.
If you know that you will be in the real estate business long and need access to online landlord forms, legal advise, or lease or rental agreements the price can be lowered by signing a 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, or 4-year contract.
Website
This website is all over the place. The front page and the information in that area of the website is great and easy to navigate. But, as you go deeper into the website, it seems like you are on a site that hasn't been updated since the 1990s. The website is in dire need of optimizing.
Rental Forms Only
EZ Landlord Forms specializes in rental agreements. If you need a different kind of legal form, EZ Landlord Forms is not for you.
The Bottom Line
EZ Landlord Forms has many services available to landlords. Its services have helped landlords manage their properties, comply with state and landlord-tenant laws, and give its assistance on complicated legal issues. Its document library is extensive and specific to U.S. states and Canadian provinces. And the additional offering of credit and criminal reports are useful.
