This fee is for maintenance of the clubhouse and other upkeep. This is refundable within 48 hours of the cancellation of the application. Once your lease is executed, it can not be cancelled and your service fee can not be refunded. **Please understand though that the application/service fee is NOT A DEPOSIT and it, in no way, holds/guarantee your spot at Evergreen Commons.

Once your loan refund is given to you, it is your responsibility to pay the rent that is due.
