Meridian Property Management

Ive been needing to post this for a LONG time. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. I recently got a notice for a settlement and thought it was against this place but unfortunately wasnt. Im looking through reviews and looks like Im not the only one who experienced this! I have NEVER had so much taken from a security deposit before. I rented with them for a year 2017-2018. They kept our entire $1,800 security deposit. This is a year after, carpets didnt need to be replaced, there was absolutely NO damage. We didnt even put nails in the walls! I have pictures and sent them an email saying we were looking into taking it to civil court. Unfortunately my husband just entered the military and we didnt have the time or funds to go against them. They gave me the forms with the lists of receipts for my security deposit. What they charged was ridiculous! They put on there things like, plastic to cover the cabinets while they paint, and paint brushes. UM WHAT? We should NOT have to pay for regular maintenance, especially for those individual items. If youre going to rent from them, expect them to keep your entire deposit, regardless of how much you try to get it ready to move out. Ive rented multiple places now & have not once experienced this. Again, dont rent from them!! And if you did and experienced something similar to me, PLEASE reach out and email me. Maybe we can do something about it. As for the property management, please dont respond to this review with some irrelevant response to make me look bad or apologize like you did to others. Unless youre going to give me my money back, you words mean nothing. Update Of course as I mentioned, they would respond with something to make me look bad. What they choose to respond and how they try to put down previous unsatisfied tenants already says so much. I tried to communicate with them about this matter in the past and did not receive any help, so I know they arent going to own up for it and give my money back. Again, Ive lived at many places and although not bad at all, Ive left places worse than what I did here and didnt get even half as much taken. There was no tears in the carpet and we literally scrubbed walls trying to make sure it looked as good as possible, as we always do when leaving a property. It was given back with no more than regular wear and tear. Weird that they want to mention these things when the receipts dont show any costs for anything other than routine maintenance, new paint, clean carpets, etc. Again, expect to not get it back. If you do.. at least its more than you expected. But I dont trust them and neither do many other people in previous reviews. No one should have to pay for every single item used to fix a unit, especially for normal wear and tear. It should not cost that much money. Im not angry. Its been many years now. Just after hearing some bad stories, I want to warn people! I will say, other than the moving out, I didnt have any other big problems with the company.

My family and I rented with Meridian for a short span of 6 months. The renting process was incredibly smooth and the services delivered by them were excellent. Thank you Rosa and David for being such a great help unto all.

Writing this review from a unique perspective - as a fellow realtor who recently had the pleasure of working with David on a transaction. David was the listing agent for a home my clients purchased in Orange County. Right from the get-go, he was on top of his game! He was super communicative, always keeping me in the loop, and was proactive about everything - which made the whole process a breeze. His cooperative nature and dedication to finding win-win solutions made the transaction efficient and stress-free. Trust me, that kind of smooth sailing is pretty rare in our line of work! When I see someone doing an amazing job, I think it's important to spread the word. David's professionalism, integrity, and commitment to excellence are truly noteworthy, and I believe they reflect the high level of service he provides to his clients. If you're considering buying or selling a home in Orange County, I highly recommend David!!

Probably the worst property management Ive had to work with. Ive been renting for almost 20 years. Not once have I dealt with a unresponsive, unhelpful, and prejudice team of people. Needed things fixed at the house under the rental agreement and all I got was resistance. I had to get the better business bureau and fair housing involved before they even made a move. I have every correspondence from their manager, Dave. Their own handy man told us how dangerous the appliances we have in Our house were. Our stove was not safe and could have exploded at anytime from the rust and decay. But yet they asked what we did to cause it?? Sorry it was old and they painted over it. They paint over a lot as you can see in pictures. Now they are claiming a domestic disturbance that was reported to the owner. Did they call to see what happened?? No. I called and the manager refused my call. I called the police department and no complaint was filed nor have they heard of any domestic disturbance. I was locked out of my place and had to find a way to get in. The windows are moldy and rotting out and getting jammed. I just took pictures and sending them now to them. I was injured in the incident and had to have an ambulance come because I dont have a car. Now they are trying to say its happened multiple times, and the owner who doesnt live on site says hes Gotten complaints. yet we have never heard from them before. Not once. Giving us a final notice for something they have no idea about is trash. Dave, you should really call people back. Its very unprofessional and unbecoming of a Manager. My next step is contacting the Attorney General for harassment. Continued 10/13/22 in response. Hello, Sorry but my intentions here were not to retaliate in anyway, it was a review that I do quite often for both good and terrible service. I wrote this also, because it was unethical and very unprofessional of you to not take my call nor return it regarding the notice I received. You mentioned it as a final notice and also an incident before, but you had never brought this first incident to our knowledge. Now you are going behind our backs and asking tenants to write letters to try and have us evicted.these re my neighbors words. All this after you just wrote in the response to the review that no further action will be taken. I think that is very unethical. To actually call our neighbors and ask them to write letters for you. If you would like to call me and resolve this matter civilly I would love to change these reviews and our relationship. I feel that is fair.
