Once your application is submitted, the agency will probably wait to obtain several applications to progress. She will then have to decide internally and-or with the owner of the appropriate candidate. Once this is done, the agency will inform you of the positive or negative answer. Even if the rental date for lease start is passed, it has little importance as choosing the right person matters usually more to agencies. In our experience, you should expect at least 7 days before an answer with a maximum of 1 month or so. After 15 days it might be adequate to contact the agency to learn more about your application statut.
