RE: Stonebridge Common - Never rent here. Lived in a suite for 8 months. Entire $1500.00 damage deposit was withheld. Haha what a joke, it was dirty when we moved in and much cleaner when we moved out. The fire alarm went off at least 6 times in 8 months and rang for 20 minutes. A very bad experience with this overpriced unit.

Our family rented an executive home from Baydo for roughly 7 years in Evergreen. Sadly, I can not offer them a positive review and here are the main reasons why....

Prior to leasing with Baydo, both my partner and I were home owners. For several logistic reasons we chose to lease instead of own. One of those reasons was that home ownership requires a lot of time investment when it comes to routine maintenance, yard work, repairs, etc. Because I traveled a lot, we opted for leasing to keep home life as simple as possible while away...

Well... unfortunately .. that is not how things ended up going, having sadly chosen Baydo for occupancy.

I will spare the reader pages of examples, but in a nutshell, in the 7 years of renting, there was never so much as one house inspection done, as you would expect. Reputable agencies will do a documented walk through AT LEAST once a year.

There was no routine maintenance or any standard maintenance done whatsoever in that 7 years.

When we requested standard household maintenance, we were told we had to pay for it ourselves unless the appliance / item was actually broken, in which case they would just replace it once it stopped working, including the furnace.

In the 7 years there we had to pay for all major household routine maintenance items, like annual furnace inspections, air conditioner servicing, duct cleaning, exterior dryer vent cleaning, painting, blinds repairs and maintenance (which cost thousands of dollars because the blinds would break very easily)... etc.

When major events would occur (like the air conditioner not working), they would threaten to send us a bill for its repair.

When the toilet broke and would not stop pumping water out, they made us replace the damaged baseboard (even though we called them as soon as the issue began).

When the kitchen sink began leaking on a Friday under the cupboard, we notified them immediately and they said they would not send anyone until Monday... even though the water was pooling on the floor, creating a clear mold risk. We eventually talked sense into them when I notified them that I'm keeping all text messages should they try to ding us for water damages.

When the ice machine in the fridge stopped working..thus flooding the kitchen floor, they claimed the fridge didn't come with a working ice machine and until we persisted they said we'd be billed if we wanted it repaired.

The gentleman that did the condo yard work was intoxicated often while working, and once called my 8 year old autistic daughter over and told her to move his jerrycan full of gas to his van for him.

The property managers would text photos to me of large breed dog feces found in the condo yard, telling me to go clean it, when we do not have such a pet.

They would come into our yard and spray without notifying us either in advance or that it had even been done.

I could definitely go on for a very long time, but in a nutshell this agency offers a 3rd world living experience, promotes unsafe and unsanitary living conditions and should not be legally in business.

While we were doing our walk through upon vacating the property the agent got a call that one of their buildings just collapsed with several injured. We were not surprised to hear this whatsoever. That was just a matter of time with the complete disregard they show for human life and safety.

If you are a good quality tenant, I highly recommend you look to a different agency.

Unacceptable website, wasted our time going to see a place that stated pet friendly building to find out that means only the first floor which was already rented out by the time we were going to be shown any suites. I can understand they can not go in the elevator but once you make the trip up the stairs once with a cat there not leaving until you move out. Seriously what does the $500 pet deposit and $25 a month cover. Colliers assistant property manager was of no help either. Would not recommend dealing with this business unless you want to be miss lead and your time wasted.

A friendly and efficient group of people to work with. I moved my company office in to one of their new builds and have been delighted with the level of workmanship and planning.

The new office has been installed exactly as described and exactly to date, fantastic considering the move in date was given to me 6 months ago.

Good quality build throughout and a very impressive eye for detail from the Owner, through the VP, planners/designers and down to the guys with the tools. All the staff I have met whether it be onsite or at their office have made this move very easy for my business and they are a pleasure to deal with.

Without hesitation I would recommend Baydo.

I’m quite upset with this company. We got a notice on our door that due to construction they are doing on the site beside ours, there will be an interruption with our water. The paper did not give any kind of timeline and instead said “some time next week around 4-5 hours”. I think it’s very unprofessional to not give the other residents in the area an actual date and time. I would have no problem if they said on Tuesday from 10-3 or something like that so at least we would have a heads up in order to work around it. It’s rather stressful waking up and not knowing if my water is going to be shut off and whether I’ll be able to shower before work.
I would also like to add that during construction they continually block the only entrance into our row of townhomes where all our cars are parked. I keep trying to get out of my driveway area in the morning only to have to ask them to move their equipment every single time. Again no notice of interruption given so there was no notice that we should park on the street in order to get our cars out of our townhomes. They seem very unprofessional when asked why they keep blocking us with no notice. I would never rent or buy from this company because if they can’t be professional to the other residents then I question them as a company.

Meridian development 2.0
Aspen ridge 6th floor slab let go jan 31st 2024 and took 2 guys working on 5th floor on a scissor lift and crashed into the parkade. Not only that word has gotten out thay baydo fired one of their carpenters for bringing up saftey concerns and he took them to court. This is a cheap based company. No concern for saftey clearly. They need to be fined extremely heavily and shut down. Wonder why they have a 3.7 rating. Can see it falling now for them.

It’s a shame that a company like Baydo uses a company like Colliers to manage their rental properties. Colliers is sadly the most unprofessional, unresponsive company in Saskatoons real estate management game. You’d be better off paying sloths. Any property manager by Colliers calls go unanswered, emails don’t get responded too, you’d be better off managing in-house. Have been interested in renting in 880 Broadway but sadly whoever manages for Collier doesn’t know how to answer his phone, return your voicemail or return your email.
