Yugo Minneapolis Sydney Hall Apartments

So many things wrong with this place. First off the management is anything but helpful. They genuinely do not care about the tennants there. We have had a ton of issues. The most recent one was the water out of our faucets sputtered brown water randomly for a good chunk of a day. The place and common areas do not get cleaned. The common bathrooms I have seen poop built up and plugged more than a few times. The laundry room actually makes your clothes smell worse and are covered in gunk and mold.... Do not live here whatever you do. Read More

The management here is awful and can really make your life difficult at times. The employees are always on different pages and give you all different answers. They never follow through with issues they say they are going to solve. Do not recommend living here!

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I have seen this apartment building change in management from Doran to East Bank Communities and the results have been disastrous. I continue to be more and more disappointed, and just when I think it can't get any worse it does. There used to be security onsite during the night and on the weekends, and east bank communities management took this away. This was helpful, especially on the weekends, but now if there is any trouble with noise the only... option is to go through the police. The garage door breaks down very often and there is no compensation for these down times. Just $150 per month to park in the garage and you might still have to pay to park it somewhere else when the garage breaks! Let me reiterate that the staff is not helpful. You will end up feeling like you are doing their jobs for them for simple things like following up on rent payments or coming home to an incorrect eviction notice because they made a mistake.

The management also does not care whether you have lived here one month or six years, so if you're planning on staying in a location for awhile choose somewhere that will properly reward you for the money you are spending as a consumer.



Also, if you plan to sublet the fees are astronomical. Each subletter has to pay $190 per person, in addition to the vacating residents paying $300. In my case, it cost $680 for what should be a simple summer sublet. This cost all goes towards "processing paperwork."



With the ongoing boom in the apartment industry, please do yourself a favor and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Read More

Avoid any properties managed by East Bank Communities. They're nice buildings in good locations, however the property management is absolutely appalling. At my current building, exterior doors are constantly broken, with the door handle unattached, or locking mechanism not working. Garage door has shut on top of my vehicle, and the elevators routinely malfunction (state inspection certificates are expired). The list goes on and on. Recently, they didn't give reasonable notice before entering my... apartment unit. Also, my roommate transferred her lease, and East Bank Communities refuses to furnish the unit properly, despite the fact they advertise as "Fully Furnished".

Avoid East Bank Communities. If you choose to lease with them, read all binding documents carefully, and be prepared for the management. Read More

The Dinkydome building has great ceiling heights... The laundry room smells and is never cleaned. They claim the cleaning crew comes around every day, but this is a lie. You need to walk far to throw out trash. You can get better amenities at all the other buildings on campus. Also management is never here and terrible at fixing problems and responding.
