APPLICATIONS: Zillow applications are accepted, but applicants must also submit the landlord's application before full consideration. The written acceptance/denial criteria are below. OCCUPANCY: 2 persons maximum. LEASE TERMS The following are a few of the more important terms found in the lease. They are not the complete or specific lease terms; the lease itself governs. The application acceptance/denial criteria can be found further down the page. The house will be rented out on a month-to-month basis. It is the landlord's intention to attract a long-term tenant, and generally, as long as the rent is regularly paid and the lease obligations are met, the lease will be extended each month. If either party wishes to end the lease, one month's written notice is required. Notice given on or before the last day of a month ends the lease on the last day of the following month (e.g., to move out on Dec. 31st, written notice must be given on or before Nov. 30th). All utilities will be placed in the tenant's name except the city's water, trash and sewer bill. That bill will be kept in the landlord's name and the tenant will be billed an estimated amount in advance each month. Any credits/debits owed when the bill arrives will be settled the following month. Rent is due on the 1st of each month. A late fee of 8% of the overdue rent applies to rent not paid when due. The actual rent amount will be $1525/mo., but a yard/snow care credit of $225 will be given at the end of each month during which yard/snow maintenance is satisfactorily provided by the tenant, as defined in the lease. The credit is deducted from the following month's rent. This effectively makes the out-of-pocket rent amount just $1300/mo. No smoking is allowed in the house or on the porch. No pets are allowed. RENTAL APPLICATION ACCEPTANCE/DENIAL CRITERIA Any of the following criteria are grounds for rental disqualification. However, some criteria may be considered more minor than others and the landlord may still offer the applicant the option to lease. These criteria follow the City of Minneapolis inclusive screening criteria. Applicants may submit supplemental evidence (e.g., references, rent payment ledgers, explanations of past events) with their application, and it will be considered. Any denial will be explained in writing within 14 days.
