Feddersen Properties

They allow people to smoke cigarettes and weed in our building. The smoke drifts nicely into my unit through the holes in the wall under my bathtoom sink, in the bedroom, and in the kitchen. The clothes in my closet smell great now. A resident in our building are stealing my mail. Feddersen’s voice mail box is full so I can’t even report the theft and smoking for the 20^th time this year. Not that they’d do anything about it anyways.
Don’t rent from this company. Period. However, if you like thug — ass neighbors smoking weed in your building and stealing your mail then I’ve got a great unit on Blaisdell to offer you.

I rented from them for 6 months. I had viewed an in progress renovation for my unit. It was falsely advertised on Craigslist. The work was not completed when I began my lease. I was lied to by feddersen and randal. There were roaches in my unit. They constantly violated MN statute 504B.211 by entering my apart with little or no notice. I complained about the state of the apartment and my rent was reduced and my lease was modified to give 60 days notice to vacate. Repairs were not completed by the times they specified. Repairs were ignored. I tried to speak to the owner mike feddersen directly and he would not take the call and would not return the call. There were multiple code violations at my building, I complained to the city, they sent out an inspector and some of the problems were resolved. Once I vacated they took most of my security deposit, I complained and received some of it back. My CRPs were always extremely late. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS MANAGEMENT COMPANY.

This is by far the worst management company I’ve ever had to work with. I’ve lived in numerous apartments all over the States, but have never had such a bad experience as this. These folks are nearly impossible to get a hold of. If you do reach them, the chances of them actually fulfilling your request is pretty low. I had to BEG them for a mailbox key and a copy of my lease, which I kindly received a mere 2 weeks after moving in. Asking for any maintenance is a nightmare. Shortly after I moved in, both the shower drain and the sink drain in my bathroom were so clogged, they would begin backing up immediately upon turning on the water. This was an issue that should have been taken care of before I even moved in. Although someone came to clear the drains, only one month later the sink is clogged again – meaning they probably poured some Drano down the pipe… something I could have done on my own. In my particular building, there’s no way to receive a package. None of the major delivery companies have access to the building and there’s no way for anyone outside the building to reach anyone inside the building – there is no call box or any system of admittance (I took this for granted when signing the lease. I just ASSUMED there would be a way to allow someone in, even if it’s calling my cell via the call box – which is present but inoperable). The office is in St Paul while my building is in Minneapolis, so if I want to actually speak with a person face to face I have to plan accordingly. The unanswered calls and general neglect of my requests has me hesitant to call about ANYTHING. Every time I write a rent check I count the remaining months when I’ll be able to move out.

Feddersen Properties is unprofessional and rude. They never answer the phone and take forever to respond to emails and messages, if they ever respond at all. In fact, Randal from Feddersen Properties called and literally yelled at me for emailing him too much (…which wouldn’t have happened if he actually responded to my questions) and for wasting his time. He was completely unprofessional and did not stop for me to talk at all. In the end, he said that he would charge me for processing the rental application for my subleaser, meeting with the person and «wasting his time.» He ended up charging me $ 100, without detailing what it was that actually cost him $ 100.
I don’t know what kind of business they’re running but Randal can use the $ 100 to buy himself some manners.

I lived in a Feddersen apartment for 2 years. What a nightmare! For starters, they never answer the phone. If you need something, you leave them a voicemail and *maybe* they’ll return it… in 3 or 4 days. If you’re lucky. There was the stint in February 2010 when the heat went out in my apartment and nobody even came to look at it for 4 days. Then, when I got ready to move, they routinely showed my apartment without giving me any notice at all. Once I was walking from the bathroom to my bedroom in nothing but a towel, and the people from Feddersen Properties barged into my apartment with three college kids who were hoping for a tour. I reminded them that this practice is against Minnesota law (they have to give you 24 hours notice before they show your place) but the practice didn’t change. The icing on the cake was that even though we left the place spotless — in fact, it was in better condition when we moved out than when we moved in — they kept over 75% of our security deposit, falsely claiming that we left the place dirty and neglected. There was a giant hole in one of the walls that was there when we moved in — they tried to charge us $ 200 to have it patched. Thank goodness I had documented at least that, so we ended up not having to pay. In short — these people are vultures who will try to take your money and give you very little in return. If you decide to rent from them, here’s my advice: document everything, and don’t expect to get your security deposit back.
