RICHDALE APARTMENTS
These terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) are designed to provide you with information on Richdale Online Payment and Online Application Service (“Service”) and outline important conditions which apply to your using this Service. This Service is provided by Richdale Management, Inc. (“Richdale”).  The Service is subject to certain consumer bank regulatory protections. When you initiate an online payment with Richdale or any third party vendor acting on our behalf, you and any person you authorize to perform functions on your account agree to these Terms and Conditions.  Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully in their entirety.  We also suggest that you print a copy of these Terms and Conditions and keep a copy in a safe place.  BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS WITHOUT EXCEPTION:
1.  Definitions. “You”, “Your” or “I” refers to the tenant using the Online Bill Payment Service or the prospective tenant using the Online Application Service. “We”, “Us”, “Our” or “Richdale” refers to Richdale Management, Inc. “ACH” refers to an Automated Clearing House transaction. “Bank Account” refers to Your personal checking or savings bank account from which an electronic ACH debit transaction or Your personal credit card or debit card from which a transaction will be deducted.
2. Online Application Terms and Conditions. By submitting an electronic application, You hereby apply to rent an apartment in the selected community and warrant that all statements in the application set forth are true, acknowledge that false information may constitute grounds for rejection of this application, termination of right of occupancy and/or of deposits. You hereby apply to lease the described premises for the term and upon the conditions set forth herein.
You hereby give permission to Richdale and its affiliates to communicate with Your current and former landlord or property manager, current and former employer(s) and/or supervisor(s) for the purpose of verifying the information listed on Your application and any and all facts and circumstances of Your current/former tenancy or employment. You understand there are no limitations or restrictions regarding what may be discussed or revealed. You are aware that a credit history, eviction search and criminal background check will be done in conjunction with Your application. You understand that You may have the right to make a written request within a reasonable period of time to receive additional information about the nature/scope of this investigation.
You also agree that a non-refundable application fee (“AppFee”) shall be paid with this application, and that Your application is an offer to rent and does not imply acceptance of Your application by Richdale. You may also be required to pay an Administrative Fee (“AdminFee”) at time of application, and upon application approval, a Security Deposit (“Deposit”). The AdminFee is separate and distinct from any Deposit. The AdminFee is Non-Refundable, except in the instance when Richdale denies Your application. Nothing contained in this paragraph is intended to construe/make the AdminFee or AppFee a security deposit under any applicable law as such costs are due Richdale for reserving the specific apartment, and deferring administrative costs for processing Your application.

Floor plans are subject to field modifications and availability. Actual units may vary from display units or printed floor plans and are leased "as is". Each individual community has parking restrictions. Pricing is not guaranteed until approval of application and acceptance by Applicant with a deposit.
You further understand that if You or your co-applicants withdraw this application or do not sign the lease as provided, after application processing has begun, the Application Fee and Administration Fee is due Richdale as liquidated damages.

6. Transaction Limitations. Please be aware that certain types of bank accounts have limits on the numbers of transfers or withdrawals that may be made per month.  For instance, only six transfers and/or withdrawals per month may be made from a savings or money market deposit account by preauthorized or automatic transfer.  Your bank or other financial institution may refuse transfers which would exceed such limits, so We recommend that You check with Your bank or other financial institution to determine what limitations are imposed on withdrawals from any account.  Also, the Service is only available to payers using U.S. bank accounts and will not be able to process requests to international bank accounts.  If We are not able to debit the amount required to cover an authorized payment from Your account, We will not be able to make the payment You have authorized, and We will not be held liable for any costs, damages, etc., caused by the failure to make the payment.
