East Manor Apartments

"My girlfriend moved in, Bert said at the end of her year she would be able to go month to month if her payments were all on time. The year came and he said they don't do month to month anymore. They took months to find a new tenant so she could leave early. We spent 4-5 hours cleaning the whole apartment. I vacuumed out every drawer and wiped them out. It was spotless. Only needed new paint. They claimed an additional 4 hrs was needed to clean the place. $40/hr. Crumbs in the drawers and around the appliances. Hair and dust in the bathroom. A spill in the refrigerator drawer, that my girlfriend had completely removed and washed in the sink. All of it was lies. She should have gotten 1100 back from her deposit. She got $400 back. Multiple times while living there she had to report things broken outside and nothing was done, didn't even get a phone call back. Horrible management!! Do not rent here. Liars and cheats!"

"My mother was a model tenant. Always paid her rent on time, wasn't loud, and even helped water the plants. Unfortunately, she had a medical crisis and became legally blind overnight forcing her into assisted living. Her apartment has been vacant for months and Bert (the 1 and only maintenance guy and office extraordinaire) has been nearly impossible to get ahold of. While carrying himself as a good, Jesus-shirt-wearing Christian, this guy has done next to NOTHING to sign on a new tenant in a city like Winona where affordable housing is difficult to find. This is after we found our own potential subleaser he refused to consider. AVOID!"

"Whenever we have an issue, the building managers are always very helpful. Rent is reasonable compared to other parts of town, but YMMV. Only drawback is that they don't allow pets."

"Absolutely Pathetic: when my cousin and I first moved we had high hopes but the apartment was downright filthy and the the neighbors chained smoked cigarettes so our apartment constantly smelled like cigs. When we moved out the landlords charged us fees for dust on top of the cabernets, dust on the light bulbs and dust in the air vents? These sleezeballs make it their mission to not return your original Down payment. I repeat.. do not waste your time with these clowns."

"Absentee landlord is run out of Michigan, and the building managers are only available 4 hours a week from 5-7 on weekdays. If your locked out, have a maintenance problem, you are out of luck because they are never here, answer the phone, and only appear busy during apartment tours. The male building manager only collects the rent check and tells you when you owe a late fee. I have never seen his wife once, who also apparently manages the buildings. Laundry machines don't work and the room has never been cleaned and is a lint fire waiting to happen. Garages and the parking lot are infested with spiders, and during the winter it is like an ice skating rink. If you own a bike expect that to be spider ridden as well, and in addition to that being unsafe during the winter and getting plowed in under 5 ft of snow. My gutter in front of my bedroom is so full of leaves that it pours water when it rains. The outside of the apartments and decks are super dirty as well. They don't take care of the place and if you really need something fixed you can't depend on anyone to come help you, very disappointing."
