FAQ's
No Application Fee
Please apply for any units in which you are interested in living. We don't have an application fee. We want you to live here by choice, not because you feel obligated by having paid a fee to get on the list.
No Lease Guarantor/Co-Signer
At Dinnaken Properties, we want you to begin to develop your own credit and rental history. If you are 18 or older, we do not allow parents or others to co-sign for your obligation.
Lease Form and Signing
If you have accepted an offer from Dinnaken Management to lease a specific unit, you can schedule a time to sign your lease by responding to the e-mail sent to register for your appointment or you can contact the management office at 612-623-3634. We will try to accomodate requests for meetings after normal business hours. Please allow up to 30 minutes for the meeting. All roommates must be present during the virtual zoom lease appointment.
You can review the Dinnaken lease documents before coming to the meeting:

Certificates of Rent Paid
