Thank you for your interest in one of our homes. We're a small, hands-on management company, and we're intentional about who we welcome. This short pre-screen is the first step — we schedule showings only after it's completed. It helps us match the right home to the right resident, and it saves you a trip if a unit isn't the right fit. Everything below takes about five minutes.

1About you

Enter your name exactly as it appears on your government-issued photo ID.

That number doesn't look right — mind double-checking it?

2The home you're interested in

Enter the address and the listed rent for the specific unit — that's how we know exactly which home you mean, and it sets your income check below.

3Who will live here

List every adult and child who will occupy the home, including yourself. All adults (18+) will complete the formal application.

Our homes are smoke-free and vape-free indoors — smoking inside is not permitted.

4Income & qualification

We ask this so we can confirm the home is a comfortable fit financially. We count all lawful, verifiable income equally — the only requirement is that documented household income is at least 3× the monthly rent.

We use the rent you entered in section 2 and compare it to your household income.

5Employment & references

6Pets & animals

If pets will live here, describe each one — type, breed, and weight. Breed is required for dogs. (No pets? Skip this.)

For insurance and safety reasons, certain dog breeds are not permitted in our homes — including pit bull-type breeds (American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier), Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Cane Corso, Presa Canario, Akitas, Chow Chows, wolf-hybrids, and any mix of these. This applies to pets only.
Service and support animals are not pets. They're never charged a pet fee, and breed, weight, and size restrictions do not apply to them — this includes every breed listed above. We ask only so we can accommodate you properly.
Minnesota note — service & support animals (Minn. Stat. § 504B.113). Service and support animals are not pets. Under the Minnesota Human Rights Act and Minn. Stat. § 504B.113, they are handled as reasonable accommodations for a disability, and the breed, weight, and size limits above do not apply. We may request reliable documentation of the disability-related need; we will never ask for your medical records. Knowingly misrepresenting an animal as a service or support animal, or providing fraudulent documentation, is unlawful under Minn. Stat. § 504B.113 and may be grounds for denial.

7A few history questions

Please answer honestly. A "yes" is not an automatic no — we review the full picture. If you answer yes, a short explanation helps.

Submitting this pre-screen does not authorize or trigger a credit or criminal background check. Any screening happens later, only with your written consent, if you're invited to complete a formal application.

8Deposits & holding a unit

Submitting this pre-screen does not reserve the unit, and it does not start any credit or background check. Nothing is due now.

The short version: a standard security deposit (about one month's rent) is due at lease signing, and serious applicants can place an optional $300 holding fee to take a unit off the market. The $300 is not the deposit — if you're approved it comes off your deposit, and it's fully refunded if you're not. We'll walk you through all of it — Venmo, cash, or check — on the next page.

9How we work & consent

Before you submit, a few things every Green Key resident agrees to:

  • All tenants carry renter's insurance.
  • Every resident keeps a current email and phone number on file so we can reach you.
  • All residents receive access to a resident portal for communication.
  • During the formal application we may ask for bank statements or pay stubs to verify income. We'll always be upfront about what we need.
What happens next. We read every pre-screen ourselves. If your information fits the home, we'll reach out to set up a showing. Serious applicants are then invited to complete the formal application and screening. We're selective on purpose — it's how we keep our homes, and the community in them, well cared for.

Thank you — we've got it.

Your pre-screen is in. If your information fits the home, we'll reach out to arrange a showing and next steps. Because we're a small, hands-on team and review every application personally, please allow a little time to hear back. We look forward to contacting you.

Want to take a unit off the market?

Placing the $300 now holds the unit for you — and remember, this is not your security deposit. If you're approved, it comes off your security deposit (so it's not extra money); if you're not approved, you get all $300 back. Send $300 to the Venmo below (or ask us about cash or check) — just confirm it matches before you send.

Green Key Properties on Venmo
Green Key Properties@greenkeypropertiesmn

Confirm before you pay: the Venmo account should match this exactly — this logo, name, and handle. If anything looks different, don't send it and tell us.

Scan the code, or tap @greenkeypropertiesmn to pay in Venmo.

In the Venmo note, add your full name and the home's address so we can match your payment to your application. (You can set the payment to private in Venmo.)

About your security deposit. When you sign the lease, you'll pay a security deposit — usually about one month's rent. It's separate from the $300 above, and you can pay it by Venmo, cash, or check. We don't split it up or take it monthly. You get it back after move-out, per your lease, minus any damage beyond normal wear.

Before you get keys. Any payment — holding fee or deposit — must be received and cleared before we hand over keys, codes, or access to a unit.
