If an applicant pays the deposit but subsequently fails to execute the lease agreement or withdraws their application, a daily holding fee (equivalent to the prorated daily rental rate for each day the unit was reserved and held off the market) along with actual administrative costs will be deducted from the deposit prior to returning any balance within 20 days per Va.
