32 days later, $100 holding fee, still no decision on apartment

[Brandy Jackson]

At the time of applying, I had all my paperwork and verifications etc. I had whatever deposit required at the time of application. The management seems unorganized as I had to return 3 following days to sign "forgotten" documents. I'm a care provider that meets the rental criteria, but the verification process is taking too long and I've started looking at other places.

my question is, can I get my holding deposit back if it's taking THEM too long to process my application? 32 days seems excessive! 

(I never saw or signed anything stating my holding fee was non refundable only the $50 app fee)
