What is the difference between applying and signing a lease?
When you send an application only with the $50 application fee, you are letting us know that you are interested in living at the Ridge but there is no official contract between you and the Ridge. If we hit maximum occupancy and we still have your application on file, we will keep you on a waitlist, until you tell us that you are no longer interested in keeping your application active. The $50 application fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. When you sign a lease, you are signing a legal document that will be enforced in accordance with PA State Law and you are responsible for all components of the documents. If you fail to meet the requirements of the lease document after you signed with us, you must inform University Ridge staff immediately so we can inform you of the process from that point. All app/redecoration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
