    I have rented many apartments in many different locations, and I've never witnessed anything close…read moreto the chaotic mismanagement of Assurance Realty and Jan Pate. Most of their rentals are houses currently for sale - meaning they can and will show prospective buyers the property you are paying to live in. All the time. The house I rented had asbestos and black mold, and Assurance refused to do anything about either situation. Ms. Pate actually said "mold is a fact of life when you live on the coast"! That's a strange idea in general - but black mold is toxic! Jan initially seems very friendly and warm, but don't get suckered by it. She really does not care about what's right or logical; the business model she uses is all about getting tenants into market properties and then pushing them out again as quickly as possible. It's a revolving door situation. I was amicable to the very end - I've never had trouble with landlords, so I kept expecting reason to prevail. One of our last interactions was Jan pleasantly informing me that she was keeping my entire deposit, because a bedroom that had been painted orange and black when I moved in was now painted white. Yes - me carefully painting over bizarre, Halloween colored walls with high quality white paint was "damaging the unit." That's when I realized I was dealing with someone who simply does not have integrity. Good luck out there, fellow renters. Avoid this lady like the plague.

    I stayed at one of their properties in Mt.Hood that I booked off VRBO. They had good communication…read moreand clear rules and guidelines. I liked how they offered lots of little branded aneminites such as shower packs, kitchen packs and hot tub cleaner. The only thing that I didn't care for was the very strict check in/check out times. Check in is at 4 and you get access by text only. Check out is promptly 10 AM! That seems extremely early especially for the prices you are paying. I asked for either an early check in or late check out and was denied which is fine but if checkout were a little later it would've been extremely helpful.

    **BUYER BEWARE -- I would strongly recommend staying away from Meredith Properties.**…read more I rent Airbnbs and vacation homes ALL the time, and I do not leave reviews like this lightly. I understand that rental properties are not hotels, things occasionally break, and photos are naturally going to present a property in its best light. But there is a significant difference between that and what we experienced here. First, the photos were almost laughable compared with the actual condition of the property. This was not a matter of flattering angles or professional photography--the reality simply did not live up to what was represented. Multiple advertised amenities were broken or unusable, and Meredith Properties showed remarkably little interest in actually fixing anything. The house had bugs and spiders throughout it, with cobwebs in multiple areas, and the overall level of upkeep was nowhere near what I would expect from a professionally managed vacation rental. The problems continued inside the house. There weren't even enough plates and glasses for the number of guests the property was supposed to accommodate. I actually CUT MY LIP on a broken glass provided in the home. The so-called essentials felt like someone had gone out and purchased an assortment of random, inexpensive items simply so they could technically say the house was stocked, rather than thoughtfully equipping a property for paying guests. But the condition of the house was only half the problem. What made this experience truly unacceptable was the response from Meredith Properties. When we raised legitimate concerns, there was seemingly no urgency or genuine desire to make things right. At one point I realized I was apparently communicating with an AI chatbot rather than even receiving the courtesy of speaking with a person about the problems we were experiencing. For a company entrusted with people's vacations--and charging real money for these properties--that level of customer service is astonishing. The overall message we received was essentially: **we have your money, these are your problems now.** And prospective guests should pay attention to something else: **read the other reviews.** I am clearly not the only guest who has had serious concerns. I wish I had given those reviews considerably more weight before booking. Again, I travel frequently and rent vacation properties all the time. I know the difference between a minor inconvenience and a genuinely bad rental experience. I also know that problems can happen at ANY property. What separates a good management company from a bad one is how they respond when those problems occur. Meredith Properties had multiple opportunities to show us that they cared about their guests and to make this experience right. In my experience, they chose not to. My advice to anyone considering one of their properties is simple: **look very carefully at the reviews, do not assume the photographs accurately represent what you will find when you arrive, and think twice before trusting Meredith Properties with your vacation.** I certainly will not make that mistake again.
