How to apply for a GNS home

The GNS application process has three steps: call 701-371-1724 to check availability, fill out a short written application, then meet us to walk the home and sign a lease. Most renters are in a signed lease within a week of the first call.

Application steps

  1. Step 1

    Call us first

    Before an application, we like to talk. Call Shawn at 701-371-1724 and we can tell you if the home is available, what the pet policy is, and anything else we can answer right there.

  2. Step 2

    Fill out an application

    We will share a short rental application with you. We ask for the standard things: employment, references, prior rental history, and a credit check authorization.

  3. Step 3

    Meet up and sign the lease

    If we all agree it is a good fit, we will meet, walk the home one more time, sign a clear written lease, and hand you the keys.

What to have ready

A short document checklist

You do not need a binder of paperwork. A few things make this part move quickly:

  • Photo ID
  • Proof of income (two recent pay stubs or equivalent)
  • Two references we can actually call
  • Prior landlord, if applicable

Ready to start?

Pick up the phone and we will go from there. Most of our renters are in a lease within a week of the first call.
