Find the Key Outside the Badge Shop

If you talk to Garf, he'll tell you that he likely dropped his key near the badge shop. Now you just need to find where that is.

Go to the inn in the middle of Rogueport, and climb up the stairs. On the second floor, exit through the door on the left to find the Lovely Howz of Badges badge shop. You should find the House Key right outside it if you keep going left.

Accept From Trouble Center on the East Side of Rogueport

The quest must first be accepted from the Trouble Center bulletin board before you can do any of the steps to complete it.

To get to the Trouble Center, you must first get through Gus, the guard blocking the east side of Rogueport. You can either pay him coins every time you need to pass or defeat him in combat. Once Koops joins your party, defeating him becomes much easier.
