If application for deposit has been applied to applicants account in marketable funds, Landlord will provide Applicant’s a temporary priority position for the property during the application process until the Landlord accepts or rejects applicant either by (1) not approving client in the seven day period, or (2) Approving client by notification. When applicant is not approved Landlord will institute the refund policy as per outline and based on Landlords bylaws and the State of Texas property laws. Landlord is not obligated to remove the Property from the market or discontinue marketing property during any application process. Approval of applicant may be to any/all of applicant(s) and may be by phone, email, text, messenger, note, message (electronic or otherwise), etc., at the Landlord’s discretion.

Should Landlord provide you with the results of your application that is to the contrary and will not be able to provide you with tenancy, such Landlord’s non-approval shall cause your Application For Deposit (and no other funds) to be considered for refund and shall be handled as per Texas Real Estate law. If no other information has been provided to Landlord in written form, any/all approved application for deposit shall be refunded to the address and the person provided by applicant in the initial “Tenant’s Application Form” or any other information provided by applicant.
Due to banking, credit card, ACH, online systems (pay-pal, Venmo, Cozy, and others) delays and non-immediate credit to Landlord, as well as other electronic and physical delays or required hold periods, can cause return of funds to take up to 30 days (unless cash was used in Landlord’s office, with cash receipt signed by Landlord, as such, this type of refund can be as early as 3 to 5 business days to be processed, subject to the above delays when applicable).
OBLIGATIONS UPON APPROVAL OR NON-APPROVAL: You are asking us to "hold" a property for your occupancy when you provide funds to us after your application fees are paid. Any of these funds you provide us, beyond the payment for your application, are called "Application for Deposit". During the application period, Applicant(s) shall have Application for Deposit held as outlined in the Texas Property Code Sec.92.351.If applicant or applicants back out or decline to continue at any time during this process and they have supplied an "application for deposit", such application for deposit shall be non-refundable and shall be considered Liquidated Damages, and parties shall have no further obligation to each other. This holds true with or without lease or other paperwork. Application for Deposit puts a home/property in reserve for you during the application process and as such is held in such a way as to not be leasable to other parties until you are accepted or rejected. That reserve period and provision is provided to you realizing that you are putting at risk your funds provided to us beyond your application fee. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE Compete paperwork from applicant(s) and Co Signer(s).

Management omissions or oversight IS NOT an indication of acceptance or approval of any occupant. Applicant must have a fully executed written lease and an approved application, with fully paid required fees and deposits to be considered complete. Once Applicant is approved, and all paperwork executed, Applicant’s application for deposit fee shall then become the tenant deposit as outlined in the lease. If Applicant withdraws application, breeches any agreement, or provides any misrepresentation(s) or false information, Landlord may terminate this agreement, at any time before, during, or after lease term, and retain all fees, deposits, and monies paid as liquidated damages, and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other.

Approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission Information about all Real Estate Brokerage Services in Texas:
Before working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom the broker represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner’s agent. A broker who acts as a sub-agent represents the owner in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer’s agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a contract for lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker is obligated by law to treat you honestly.

The broker becomes the owner’s agent by entering into an agreement with the owner, usually through a written listing agreement, or by agreeing to act as a sub agent by accepting an offer of sub agency from the listing broker. A sub agent may work in a different real estate office. A listing broker or sub agent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner’s agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an owner’s agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to the agent.
The broker becomes the buyer’s agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer’s agent can assist the owner but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer’s agent anything the owner would not want the buyer to know because the buyer’s agent must disclose to the buyer any material information known to the agent.
A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the broker complies with The Texas Real Estate License Act. The broker must obtain the written consent of each party to the transaction to act as an intermediary. The written consent must state who will pay the broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker’s obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to treat each party honestly and fairly and to comply with The Texas Real Estate License Act. A broker who acts as an intermediary in a transaction:
(1) shall treat all parties honestly;
(2) may not disclose that the owner will accept a price less than the asking price unless authorized in writing to do so by the owner;
(3) may not disclose that the buyer will pay price greater than the price submitted in a written offer unless authorized in writing to do so by the buyer; and
(4) may not disclose any confidential information or any information that a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose unless authorized in writing to disclose the information or required to do so by The Texas Real Estate License Act or a court order or if the information materially relates to the condition of the property.
With the parties’ consent, a broker acting as an intermediary between the parties may appoint a person who is licensed under The Texas Real Estate License Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of one party and another person who is licensed under that Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of the other party.
If you chose to have a broker represent you, you should enter into a written agreement with the broker that clearly establishes the broker’s obligations. The agreement should state how and by whom the broker will be paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation, if any, you wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not necessarily establish that the broker represents you. If you have any questions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the broker, you should resolve those questions before proceeding.
