Renting and leasing pretty much mean the same thing. A landlord leases out his investment property and a tenant (or tenants) pays rent monthly to the landlord or apartment community - pretty simple.
Now, if looking for apartments specifically to rent, you are not required to fill out the forms below. Apartment communities in Austin and surrounding areas as well as all over Texas use a standard TAA rental application which will be given to you at your visit to the apartment.

If looking to rent a home, duplex or condo, go ahead and feel free to print and start filling out the Sample Lease Application BELOW (one per applicant) so we'll have ready on hand once you find something you like.
