Is it legal to charge an application fee or additional fees?

Depending on your state/local laws, there might be restrictions to charging an application fee or which party can charge it. For example, some states restrict property owners from charging an application fee, but a listing agent or property manager can charge it.

Check with your broker, MLS, or state/local laws for more information. 

The application fee cannot be altered, customized, or waived for the potential applicant.
