DEPOSIT HELD BY THIRD PARTY: Louisiana Administrative Code Article Title 46, Part LXVII, Section 2717 requires that
funds received in a real estate sales transaction shall be deposited in the appropriate sales escrow checking account, rental
trust checking account or security deposit trust checking account of the listing or managing broker (“Broker”) unless all parties
having an interest in the funds have agreed otherwise in writing. I agree to have the Deposit related to this transaction to be
held by a third party and not in a sales escrow account maintained by the Broker. I understand that the Louisiana Real Estate
Commission may not have jurisdiction over those third parties holding the funds. I have read the attached addendum and
acknowledge the Broker is not legally required to disburse a security deposit in accordance with LAC 46:LXVII.2901 when a
third party holds the Deposit.
