[Mushtaq G.]

Hi Experts, need a advice, I am excited to have finally shortlisted a applicant on my first property but they will not be moving till June 1st, I am thinking of collecting a hold deposit but not sure how it works in Texas, would any one have a form that I can use, appreciate your guidance

@Mushtaq G.   just make sure they sign something that acknowledges that if they change their mind, you keep the holding deposit. Either have two copies that you and they sign,  or a copy you and they sign and they take with after you take a readible picture of it on your phone.
