Special Provisions

Review and Sign

Please read the Application Agreement, Disclosures and Authorizations below. By checking the box and signing, you accept them. This Application and the Lease are binding documents when signed. Before submitting, you may take a copy of these documents to review and/or consult an attorney.

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.

  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 Application, 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 If you or any co-applicant fails to sign as required your Application will be deemed withdrawn, and we may keep the application deposit as liquidated damages, and terminate all further obligations under this Agreement.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 notifies 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 Application, your Application will be considered “disapproved.” Notification may be in person or by mail or telephone unless you have requested that notification 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 accept the applicant or to sign a Lease. Images on our website may represent a sample of a unit and may not reflect specific 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 office.
  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.
Disclosures
  1. Application fee (non-refundable). You agree to pay to our representative the non-refundable application fee in the amount of $50.00. Payment of the application fee does not guarantee that your Application will be accepted. The application fee offsets 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 representative an application deposit in an amount equal to one month’s rent for your unit, as confirmed by our leasing office. The application deposit is not a security deposit. The application deposit will be credited toward the required security deposit when the Lease has been signed by all parties; OR, it will be refunded under paragraph 7 of the Application Agreement if the applicant is not approved; OR it will be retained by us as liquidated damages if you fail to sign or withdraw under paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Application Agreement.
  3. Fees due. Your Application will not be processed until we receive your completed Application (and the completed Application of all co-applicants, if applicable) and the application fee and application deposit. Our leasing office will send you a secure payment link for the application fee and application deposit.
  4. Completed Application. Your Application will not be considered “complete” and will not be processed until we receive: (A) your fully filled out and signed Application and any documents required by our rental criteria, such as proof of income; (B) fully filled out and signed Applications for each co-applicant (if applicable); (C) application fees for all applicants; and (D) the application deposit.

I authorize Drake Reperforming SPE LLC, doing business as Vista Lago Apartments to collect payment of the application fee and application deposit, through the secure payment link sent to me by the leasing office, in the amounts described in the Disclosures. If a check from an applicant is returned to us by a bank or other entity for any reason, if any credit card or debit card payment from applicant to us is rejected, or if we are unable, through no fault of our own or our bank, to successfully process any ACH debit, credit card, or debit card transaction, then the applicant shall pay a charge of $50.00 for each returned payment, and we reserve the right to refer the matter for criminal prosecution.
  3. Acknowledgment. I declare that all my statements in this Application are true and complete. Giving false information is a Class B Misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6 months in county jail and a $2000 fine. My submission of this Application, including payment of any fees and deposits, is being done only after I have fully investigated, to my satisfaction, those facts which I deem material and necessary to the decision to apply for a rental unit. I authorize you to verify my information through any means, including consumer-reporting agencies and other rental-housing owners. I acknowledge that I had an opportunity to review your rental-selection criteria, which include reasons my Application may be denied, such as criminal history, credit history, current income and rental history. I understand that if I do not meet your rental-selection criteria or if I fail to answer any question or give false information, you may reject the Application, retain all application fees as liquidated damages for your time and expense, and terminate my right of occupancy. In lawsuits relating to the Application or Lease, the prevailing party may recover from the non-prevailing party all attorney’s fees and litigation costs. You may at any time furnish information to consumer-reporting agencies and other rental-housing owners regarding my performance of my legal obligations, including both favorable and unfavorable information about my compliance with the Lease, the rules, and financial obligations. Fax or electronic signatures are legally binding. I acknowledge that your privacy policy is available to me.
  4. Foreign Leasing Restriction (SB 17; Texas Property Code § 5.253). Foreign Leasing Restriction (SB 17; Texas Property Code § 5.253): By submitting this application, I represent that I am not prohibited from leasing real property in Texas pursuant to Section 5.253 of the Texas Property Code. (This restriction applies only to certain persons from China, North Korea, Iran, and Russia, and is subject to change under applicable law.)
