The Application for Landlord/Tenant Program is a Salt Lake City Corporation form on which a rental property owner, or the company that manages the property, applies to take part in the Salt Lake City Landlord/Tenant Initiative. Because the program is tied to the license on each rental, it belongs with the Salt Lake City business license forms for landlords. On this page you can fill out the form online on FillingPDF and download or print the completed PDF; the city publishes the original at slcdocs.com and on its Finance landlord/tenant forms page.

What is Application for Landlord/Tenant Program – Salt Lake City, UT?
The Application for Landlord/Tenant Program is the Salt Lake City Corporation form on which an owner or management company applies to participate in the Salt Lake City Landlord/Tenant Initiative, listing the rental dwelling properties covered and agreeing to the program's conditions.
The form has four parts. Part A collects the owner's details and where the yearly renewal should be mailed (to the owner or to the management company). Part B collects the management company's details, including a required management email. Part C lists the rental dwelling properties in Salt Lake City by SLC license number, location and number of units, with room for five and a note to add sheets if necessary. Part D holds the program requirements: the signed management agreement and the landlord training course.
By signing, the applicant agrees to comply with the conditions in the management agreement. The form warns that failing to meet the program requirements, or failing to take the required training course within six (6) months, means all non-discounted fees will be applied to the license and the applicant will be re-billed the full non-participation licensing fees.
The city's forms page groups this form under Landlord/Tenant Participation, next to the Management Agreement Form, and labels it "update info only". The forms needed to license a rental property, such as the New Rental Application, are listed separately.
Who needs to file Application for Landlord/Tenant Program – Salt Lake City, UT?
Owners of rental dwelling properties in Salt Lake City, and the management companies that run them, use this form to take part in the Salt Lake City Landlord/Tenant Initiative. The form asks for the owner's details, and for the management company's details when one is involved. It also asks you to identify every rental dwelling property you own or manage in Salt Lake City.
Applicants must be ready to sign the management agreement and to take the required landlord training course, because the form makes both conditions of participation.
The city's forms page lists the Application for Landlord/Tenant Program with the note "(update info only)". Licensing a rental property uses other forms on that page: the New Rental Application, Property Authorization Form, Self Certification and, for out-of-state owners only, a Special Power of Attorney. If you are applying for a rental license for the first time, confirm with Salt Lake City Corporation Finance / Business Licensing which forms you need.
When to file Application for Landlord/Tenant Program – Salt Lake City, UT
Complete the form when you want to participate in the Landlord/Tenant Initiative, and include the signed management agreement with it. The form prints no filing deadline of its own.
One date does run from the application: you agree to take the required landlord training course within six (6) months of making the application. If you do not comply with the program requirements, or do not take the course within six months, the form states that all non-discounted fees will be applied to your license and you will be re-billed the full non-participation licensing fees.
The renewal question on the form concerns the yearly renewal of the license: you choose whether the renewal notices are mailed to the owner or to the management company.
Documents you need
- The signed management agreement: Part D states you have signed it and included it with your application. The city lists the Management Agreement Form on its forms page.
