The Historic Minnesota Building — Local services in Saint Paul

Rented here for four years. Building itself should be enough to scare you away but here's what I experienced from management and staff over the course of my stay. (I note that staff changed again near the end of my stay and my review is only reflective of staff I encountered during my time as a renter.)

No responses when leaving voicemail or sending messages. No responses after weeks of trying to get someone to re-sign your lease. No responses after weeks of trying to communicate that your fridge is broken. Less than a day's notice for anything.

Constant office closures with no notification to residents

And the list goes on.

There always an issue with this building and I wouldn’t recommend anyone living here! Stay far...
