Frequently Asked Questions
How do we apply? Do we need a deposit?
We do applications on a first come, first served basis. We do background/credit checks on all prospective tenants as well as check references and verify income. We do not accept anyone with any felonies. The cost is $30 per person, paid online when you submit your application.
We also require one month’s rent as a security deposit. This is due when the lease is signed. You can pay us online, by check, money order, or cash.
Do we need to put the utilities in our name? How do we do it?
In most cases, you do need to put the utilities in your name.
Minnesota Power (electric bill) usually can be done over the phone.
Comfort Systems (water and gas bill) can have you go to their office between the hours of 9am-4pm. They are located on Garfield Ave, (by Goodwill) they will require you to fill out an application or you can also apply online (download the application here), and usually need you to give a deposit. They will give you a receipt, you need to hold onto this as it is proof to us, and you need it to receive your keys.
Hartels/DBJ Trash Service: You will also need to get a trash account set up in your name before move in. Please use this link to do so.
You can switch utilities into your names days/weeks prior to your move-in date. When required, ALL utilities need to be in your name BEFORE you will receive your keys.
Do we need to mow our lawn and snow shovel?
We take care of ALL yard maintenance in the summer. Tenants are responsible for snow removal unless specifically included in rent.
Do you allow pets?
Depending upon the house, it must be prior approved with a max of 1 pet per unit. We use a pet screening service for all pets, including service and ESA pets. The pet fee is determined by the screening service. We also require a refundable pet security deposit of $250 for a dog, and $150 for a cat. We do not allow dogs under the age of 1. There are also some breeds of dogs that we don’t allow. Please check with us before thinking of getting a pet.
Pet Screening and Pet Lease details are available in the Resident Resources section.
Do you require renters insurance?
No, but we recommend it. Our insurance doesn’t cover your personal property. If you would like to insure your own property, we have included a link to State Farm. However, you may use any company.
