I want to withdraw my application and get the refundable portion of my deposit back. The check has already cleared.As long as you have not signed the lease you are able to walk away. The forms can be filled in on the computer. An application is not a contract to rent or a lease. Be sure that withdrawing the application risks only your application fee. The insured name must be the same as the renting individual or organization. The broker's fee and first month's rent shouldn't be handed over until the lease signing. It should be refundable unless they told you otherwise. Please explain: Have you or anyone else named on the application been evicted from a rental unit of any type including an apartment,.
