Reviews of Commons and Landings at Southgate (Real Estate Agency)

Alexus Kirk

Rave to all the workers at The Commons and Iret properties. I've rented through Iret for the past two years and everyone has been great. One of the staff even helped with my groceries the other day. I love all the cleaning ladies and mantinence guys they're all so nice and always have a smile on their face. I'm honestly a little sad to be moving!

To the IRET "owner", I would advise that before you start listing what you presume to be discrepancies in my story in regards to your NSF policy, I would advise that you overlook why you and your staff consistently disregard policy when it comes to your own lease agreement. I would ask that you air out any "discrepancies" that you have here, my "benefit" is of no concern of yours, however I do believe that potential clients be forewarned of how you "conduct business". I would like to point out how funny it is that the first comment from management is a nice comment, and one that actually details the issues and even tries to resolve the issues. But then you have to come on after and give a nasty comment, calling me a liar and how essentially lucky I am that you wont air out your NSF policies, since we are playing that game though, would you be able to tell me what the penalty is for a complex that allows staff to enter a dwelling without giving notice, by the way your staff as well while trespassing had the Gaul to tell my wife that we have to notify you guys that we want to be notified first when someone is going to enter our home, I also hope that is not also your policy, because that actually is against state law. By doing so you allowed your staff to enter a dwelling without proper notice in writing, As well as no written notices that don’t specify time or date, as well as entering without tenants permission and Allowing others, such as service technicians to enter unaccompanied. Could you also tell me what the penalty is for causing chemical burns to my wifes legs because of inadequate chlorine measurements in your pool area ? Do you want to also tell me why you guys sent me a notice that my second month was paid, and then another right after saying it wasn't, and then didn't actually make a withdraw until over a WEEK later ? While your at it, could you do me a favor and quit parking your truck in front of the loading area ? Its also very inconvenient when you park next to the yellow cement poles, blocking an entire exit, and making it difficult for myself and others to move around your vehicle, let alone park. Usually an area labeled yellow is a place where one does not park their vehicle. Luke Warm Regards (Aaron West)

Will never rent from iret again i regret ever coming here

Rude Staff. The manager thinks she owns the place. We moved out a couple of months ago after having to break our lease due to a conflict of interest. My husband went to speak with the manager after a notice was left on our front door stating that Iret properties has decided to not renew our lease, with no explanations to why (how professional) and the manager was completely out of line and nothing was solved. We're still clueless as to why. However, The apartments are very nice but not enough do deal with the lack of professionalism from the staff.

I am currently living here and regretting ever moving in here. We have had nothing but constant issues with staff since day one of signing our lease. Management is rude and incompetent to their own systems. The first issue we had was recommending someone to move in, at first we were told that if you recommend someone you get a 250 dollar credit towards your lease and the individual you recommend gets 150 credit on their first months rent, what it actually is is 100 for the individual you recommend; which is how we began renting here and in turn getting a close family friend of ours to rent here, the recommend was confirmed after having to make a couple more attempts with the front desk staff..and then was never applied. I further pushed the issue and had the credit of 100 dollars applied to our first months rent, however it was too late to get the 250 applied until next month (month 2). Our first month came and went with no credit, I made another attempt and spoke with the manager, who stated that since it wasn't documented properly in the system, that then it technically didn't exist and therefore would need be applied the following month after our 1st month. The second month our credit was finally applied..except it was applied as a charge and not a credit, spiking our rent up to 1900.00, which had to be corrected obviously. It finally was on the 3rd month that we got our 250.00 credit (they also applied the 100 dollar credit, which went unnoticed by me). I therefore expected our 100 dollar credit to follow the next month which is when it was planned since everything was pushed back a month, well since I did not realize the 100 dollars (which i did not catch, and is ultimately my fault, but could have been avoided in the beginning, had everything been done correctly the first time), I planned on seeing the 100 dollar credit on that months direct payment bill, which means when the payment was pulled, I was 100 dollars short in my account and therefore the payment was declined and in turn the commons charged me an NSF fee, a silly situation however I expected things to work out as planned, which I should not have assumed My fault still, therefore I issued a check the next day and included the 35.00 NSF fee...I was then left a letter on my door that stated since i had a NSF charge, that if I were to get another one then I would be kicked off of automatic payment..well the following month rent was expected to be pulled on the first, considering that our lease states.... well next months automatic payment was not pulled until 7 DAYS LATER AFTER THE FIRST OF THE MONTH ! Our Bank red flagged the purchase and denied the funds transfer..issuing me yet another NSF charge. Even though right before this I was issued a letter that stated we had actually payed the balance, it was not until the next day that I received yet another letter taped to my door that stated the funds were not pulled and that I owed an NSF fee again, and was barred from not only using automatic payment, but their entire ACH system as a whole for 6 months; also means I cant pay with a personal check either... I now can only pay with either a CASHIERS CHECK ! OR MONEY ORDER ! The best part is because my bank account was frozen for suspected fraud I had to pay rent with my brothers account instead, I received a NASTY eviction notice on my door, then was called and told to disregard the notice, because they didn’t check their deposit box yet.....?! If that wasn’t enough, While being here my pregnant wife has received a chemical burn from their hot tub, rude neighbors, allegations of smoking in our apartments (non smokers). Theft is now apparently an issue in our underground garage. Fire alarm tests are randomly done, maintenance walks freely into peoples homes unannounced. Actual fire alarm system failures force people to leave the building for the cold of winter, which MANAGEMENT never showed up for, leaving Minot Fire Department scrambling to try and fix their software issue on site. AVOID THIS PLACE ! I highly recommend you live somewhere else !

I have lived in The Commons for over two years and consider the atmosphere inviting and welcoming. The staff is always very professional and responsive when I needed something fixed in my apartment. Several of my neighbors were very noisy and didn't respect the fact that they actually do have neighbors and that they need to keep their dogs on leashes. The staff made sure to deal with the issues and I am grateful.

Rude! Don't move here if you like friendly people. The staff acts like they own the place and aren't afraid to let you know. Imagine paying good money to live somewhere and you feel like a visitor. The cleaning staff will run you off from any use of the facility.

Overall unprofessional

I don't have any complaints about the staff or amenities. My issues come from my upstairs adult neighbor throwing temper-tantrums on the phone and stomping and crying. Also stomping to the beat of pop-country music and me also having to hear her every move up there. Although she walks around flat footed like bigfoot in a set of clogs, it's not entirely her fault. The place is not noise proof at all. When I think of "luxury apartments", I think of an apartment that doesn't make you put up hearing everything going on upstairs. I updated my review because the upstairs neighbor is actually making a lot more noise than I thought, after walking to her floor to see how bad it is. She floods her entire floor with loud music at 1030pm on a regular basis in apt 327. Now that I've heard it on the third floor, I'd say my level does a good job at dampening some of those noises.

Good apartment complex,indoor heated pool,but to cold to swim in,nice hot tub and full gym. Nice common room with big television and fireplace,but often rented out. Apartments go from tiny one bedroom that has no living room on up. Close to everything. Prices going up with new corporate owner and more deposits. Best leave this to military personnel only,the government will pay the rent. Plus if you want out of lease expect to pay four months rent for an apartment you won’t be living in. Cheaper places available but without hot tub and pool. For me trying to get out of lease because mom needs to go to nursing home is a nightmare and impossible. Corporations killing America.
