Application Agreement
The following Application Agreement will be signed by you and all co-applicants prior to signing a Lease. While some of the information
below may not yet apply to your situation, there are some provisions that may become applicable prior to signing a Lease. In order to
continue with this Application, you’ll need to review the Application Agreement carefully and acknowledge that you accept the terms.
1. Apartment Lease information. The Lease contemplated by the parties will be the current TAA Lease. Special information and
conditions must be explicitly noted on the Lease.
2. Approval when Lease is signed in advance. If you and all co-applicants have already signed the Lease when we approve the
Application, our representative will notify you (or one of you if there are co-applicants) of our approval, sign the Lease, and then
credit the application deposit of all applicants toward the required security deposit.
3. Approval when Lease isn’t yet signed. If you and all co-applicants have not signed the Lease when we approve the Applica-
tion, our representative will notify you (or one of you if there are co-applicants) of the approval, sign the Lease when you and all
co-applicants have signed, and then credit the application deposit of all applicants toward the required security deposit.
4. If you fail to sign Lease after approval. Unless we authorize otherwise in writing, you and all co-applicants must sign the Lease
within 3 days after we give you our approval in person or by telephone or within 5 days after we mail you our approval. If you
or any co-applicant fails to sign as required your Application will be deemed withdrawn, and we may keep the application
deposit as liquidated damages, and terminate all further obligations under this Agreement.
5. If you withdraw before approval. If you or any co-applicant withdraws an Application or noties us that you’ve changed your
mind about renting the dwelling unit, we’ll be entitled to retain all application deposits as liquidated damages, and the parties
will then have no further obligation to each other.
6. Approval/non-approval. If we do not approve your Application within 7 days after the date we received a completed Applica-
tion, your Application will be considered “disapproved.” Notication may be in person or by mail or telephone unless you have
requested that notication be by mail. You must not assume approval until you receive actual notice of approval. The 7-day time
period may be changed only by separate written agreement.
7. Refund after non-approval. If you or any co-applicant is disapproved or deemed disapproved under Paragraph 6, we’ll refund
all application deposits within 30 days of such disapproval. Refund checks may be made payable to all co-applicants and mailed
to one applicant.
8. Extension of deadlines. If the deadline for approving or refunding under paragraphs 6 or 7 falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a
state or federal holiday, the deadline will be extended to the end of the next business day.
9. Keys or access devices. We’ll furnish keys and/or access devices only after: (1) all parties have signed the Lease and other rental
documents referred to in the Lease; and (2) all applicable rents and security deposits have been paid in full.
10. Application submission. Submission of an Application does not guarantee approval or acceptance. It does not bind us to ac-
cept the applicant or to sign a Lease. Images on our website may represent a sample of a unit and may not reect specic details
of any unit.For information not found on our website regarding unit availability, unit characteristics, pricing or other questions,
please call or visit our oce.
11. Notice to or from co-applicants. Any notice we give you or your co-applicant is considered notice to all co-applicants; and any
notice from you or your co-applicants is considered notice from all co-applicants.

tion fee osets the cost of screening an applicant for acceptance.
2. Application deposit (may or may not be refundable). In addition to any application fees, you agree to pay to our representa-
tive an application deposit in the amount indicated in paragraph 3. The application deposit is not a security deposit. The applica-
tion deposit will be credited toward the required security deposit when the Lease has been signed by all parties; OR, it will be
