2. Applicant acknowledges that Owner's acceptance of Applicant as a resident at the property is conditional upon:
  1. Owner's approval of this Application; and
  2. receipt of an executed Apartment Lease Agreement from Applicant. In the event any of these conditions have not been met, Owner shall have no obligation to lease to Applicant.
3. Any Deposits paid are not considered a security deposit under this Application or applicable law. The Deposit will either be:
  1. credited to the required security deposit pursuant to an Apartment Lease Agreement executed by Applicant;
  2. refunded to Applicant as provided herein; or
  3. retained by Owner as liquidated damages as provided herein.

Deposit Credited to Security Deposit - In the event that this Application is approved by Owner and Applicant meets all other conditions of occupancy, executes an Apartment Lease Agreement with Owner as and when required by Owner, the Deposit shall be credited towards the security deposit identified in the Lease.
