I've had an excellent experience with Meridian Property Management. Over the past year and a half, I had the pleasure of working with May, Sandy, Marc, and Alex, and each of them was attentive, professional, and easy to work with. I really loved my apartment in North Park and was really happy I moved in. All maintenance requests were handled efficiently and the team always got back to me. They made the process smooth from start to finish and were always responsive to my needs. I would absolutely come back to them in the future if the opportunity arises. Highly recommend this company! read more

Fair warning if you are trying to rent somewhere that uses this company. The woman in charge of application approvals has no clue how to read credit. I was denied due to, and I quote, "Every account being at or near its limit". Mind you, I spent the last 10 years pulling and submitting credit to lenders myself, so when I got the copy of my credit she was referring to, I noticed there was no section on the report that showed account limits, just the maximum balance that was ever held on said accounts and what the current balance was. I proceeded to try to explain to her that "Highest balance held" and "Account Limit" werent the same thing, which she then argued with me about, while telling me that my card with a 20k limit and 3k balance was maxed out. I called and tried to find someone else to speak to, in hopes I'd run across someone that was more proficient at reading credit reports, and while I did get a hold of her boss, I experienced the exact same issue with her, insisting they knew what they were doing as they both used to be lenders themselves. I can see why they aren't any longer. I can't tell if this is intentional in order to collect application fees or if it is really is just asinine levels of professional gross negligence. Being denied due to legitimate credit requirements or lack of income or rental history is one thing, but having time and money wasted just to be denied due to someone's inability to do their job properly, is pretty irritating, especially as someone that has multiple satisfied auto loans, credit cards, personal loans, and a mortgage, all with flawless payment history. Hopefully whoever runs the company pays for some better training for their company's(and renters) sake, because my entire experience with them was depressingly amateur. read more

LOSING MONEY ON IVY HILL :( Rented same property for 2 years. Horrible response time from technician for repair claims, in person he advised us not to file too many claims because "the company" wouldn't like it. Went 6 months without smoke detectors (the units has permanent batteries that all died in the same month) despite online request and in our final month only 1 shower was functional. It felt like service waited until 1 week before move out to attempt a contact us for shower repair; of course we said don't worry since the entire apartment was being packed. Spent hundreds dollars on cleaning, carpet cleaner rental and several hours in personal labor. At the end they sent someone who never saw the apartment to review for security deposit deductions. They are attempting to charge us for landscaping, paint and many other damages that were there before we moved in. The management company stated the property owner was difficult to work and they simply want to take our deposit as oppose to deal with him. Starting the small claims process now; the one positive is we are learning how small claims work in San Diego. Warning before you sign with this company, San Diego cannot e-file; going to the court house end of this week. read more

Experienced meridian as a renter. Rented a property for about a year. During the time, paid down a one time pet deposit. After term was up, was charged for carpet cleaning and repairs. Wife cleaned the carpet and was charged for 8 hours of carpet cleaning. New tenants occupied the next day after the final walkthrough. 6 months later, the new tenants complained about the carpets having a pet smell. Meridian decided to have carpets cleaned on two additional occasions and never sent me a call or text. Also charged for gardener picking up dog poop. Instead of contacting me, they just billed me through a collections agency. I thought the collections agency was just tying to scam me out of money. I couldn't believe meridian wouldn't call or text. I get it that dogs can cause issues but that's what deposits are for and that's what a final walkthrough is for. To charge me for something 6 months after I moved out, is not only shady, but probably against the law. read more

Lived in one of their properties between March 2019-May 2024. They did not notify me of prior mold issues that the property had. I have come to find the prior tenant moved out because of visible mold issues. The prior tenant reported health issues and sent screenshots of visible mold in the unit and nothing was done. I reported visible mold in the window sills within a year of my move-in and during my time there, and they denied my claims, and insisted it was not mold but "mildew". A mold attorney in SD reviewed my pictures and submission and said "your PM shouldn't have said it was mildew because it is obviously mold". I experienced health issues while living in the unit. I had to pay for a mold inspection company to do an inspection in May of 2024 (which I haven't been reimbursed for yet) and they found mold in the AC/HVAC unit where prior water damage incidents had occurred throughout my tenancy. They also never thoroughly inspected/cleaned the unit before I moved in. The carpets were dirty and mold was on the window sills upon moving into the unit. More than 7+ tenants have lived there in the past 12 years and it hasn't been properly cleaned or inspected (as tenants move in and out) outside of the occasional maintenance work order since I've moved in. These are my observations and experiences as a tenant. read more

Sandy and Alex were always very responsive and helpful when I needed something for my rental. Whenever I had an issue and contacted them about it they responded quickly and professionally to see how we could best fix it. I took care of my apartment very well and when it came time to move out they gave me my full deposit back. Which is great because I have had previous landlords try to squeeze a couple of hundred bucks out of you for no reason. Not these MPM though, they were honest and fair about it. Even sent me a nice hand written thank you note with my deposit refund. read more

Sandy and Meridian Property management have went above and beyond for my family. This is our second rental with them and when our previous landlord asked us to move on much shorter notice then anticipated, Sandy helped us find another rental and assisted us throughout the entire process. They are also very responsive to requests/concerns. She is truly an outstanding/empathetic individual, and I will continue to recommend Meridian to everyone I know. Thank you Sandy! read more

Meridian managed our beloved home as a rental for seven years, until it finally became clear we'd never return. So they sold it for us too. As others have posted, I'm sad to see bad reviews on here. Sandy, May, and Alex run an honest business with care and attentiveness. We were occasionally involved during the first few years, usually for the bigger repairs that required our approval. Eventually we realized that they made smart, honest, and well-vetted decisions, and turned over complete control to them. Within a couple years, they had our ABSOLUTE TRUST. And from what I could tell, they exercised extreme patience and empathy with the tenants as well. They have a good network of handy-persons, painters, etc. And they work on a fixed-price model, which was refreshing. As mentioned, Alex sold our house for us. He only sells houses they've managed (with somewhat reduced realtor fees as well). We walked away from the experience COMPLETELY SATISFIED. We're sad that our business relationship is ending, but by this point, we consider them friends. (Edit: Dear Yelp robots --- This is in response to Alex's message below. If you take this review down, I will be seriously offended. You see, in my experience, most fake reviewers write at a fourth-grade level. I, on the other hand, write at at least a sixth-grade level. The ALL CAPS were intentionally used. And I spent a good half-hour crafting my message intentionally. And if you take this down, I will intentionally go after your legitimacy as a review site. I'm a real customer. Meridian is a really good company. And I'll be really pissed if you censor the truth. Love, Shane) read more

My family and I were tenants through Meridian Property Management for a few years. We never had any complaints about them! They always helped us with our maintenance trouble tickets and responded very quickly. They always kept us in the loop about the community and important messages from the community/owners. They were very organized on scheduling visits. Overall, they took real good care of us as tenants. Even during this pandemic, they responded quickly and followed CDC guidelines. My family and I definitely are thankful for Meridian Property Management! read more

Oh wow, where do I start. I've been working with Sandy, Alex and May over at Meridian for over two years now, and I cannot give them enough praises. I work with them on the renter's side of things, putting in maintenance requests, change of tenancy notices, and lease renewals and I have to say they are the easiest and kindest property management group I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Sandy is usually my point of contact, and she's always super attentive to my emails, but also just a really kind and empathetic individual. Dealing with tenancy changes, and lease renewals can sometimes be a stressful task, but with Meridian property management I've always had the most easy and carefree experience! Not only do they take care of their owners, but they take care of their tenants as well! I have nothing but love and appreciation for Meridian and it's staff! read more

Meridian is one of the better property management companies we have rented from in the San Diego area. Sandy, in particular, is an absolute delight---but really all of the employees are great. They were consistently available and happy to help with any and all of our concerns while still being mindful when it came to our time. I hope we have the opportunity to rent from them again. read more

HORRIBLE company with terrible business practices. I can not speak for how they treat their other properties but our personal experience has been a nightmare. They do not care about the home, they are rude and unreachable! Their main rep Sandy is very disrespectful and write emails that belittle and disrespect tenants. This is not how I would ever want someone who holds my home in their hands to ever treat anyone. I truly hope they read their reviews because you needs to change the way you treat people and conduct business. I read the past reviews on here and am not shocked to see the same responses from frustrated past customers. I also have emails to show their disregard and rudeness toward us. Anyone looking for a property management company stay away from this one!!!! read more

Unethical and poor business practices. We went to view a home we found on Zillow. The agent gave us a code to get in and view the property. On Zillow is said there was a garage included & on our visit the garage door opener was on the kitchen counter. We loved the place, it was a bit small but we could make it work with the garage so we applied. Once approved they told us the garage was not included and we couldn't even pay extra to rent it. When we asked if we could get our $50 back from the application fee they denied us. Not cool Meridian. read more

I have been living in a house managed by them for the 3 years.... For the last year I have notified them of termites damage in the floors and now the back patio structure and storeroom. Along with that our dishwasher has stop work and they refuse to install the new one we bought! I pay rent to them and they can't take care of a few problems. I will never rent from this company again! Watch out for them! read more

We've been dealing with Meridian for over 5 years now. They are professional and work diligently to get the job done and keep tenants and owners happy. May and Sandy run the office and always return phone calls and emails promptly. They are always fair and reasonable. We truly appreciate the peace of mind we get working with Meridian. Thanks for a job(s) well done! read more

We have worked with Sandy, Alex and May for over 12 years with our various rentals in San Diego and they have done an outstanding job managing them! We would highly recommend them to any Landlords as they look after every detail of your property! And they do it all in a friendly yet professional way! 5 Stars for Sure! Thank you for the many years of excellent service! read more

We really loved working with MPM. We were renting an apartment for two years under Meridian Property and had a very great experience. Whenever anything needed to be fixed, I was able to sign online and request maintenance ASAP. Everything was fixed very quickly- usually within 1-2 days, which was great! I also love how our monthly rent was all paid through the website- very user friendly. Highly recommend this property management for hassle free and quick management! read more

I used them for 1 year. The repairs in the condo were near non existent. I had to keep calling them to get the repairs done. Then when I moved out. I had my own carpet cleaners and house cleaners come (the condo was spotless and in better condition then when I left it) but I was still charged more then $500.00 for cleaning and repairs. It was unbelievable. I think they did not check the unit after I moved out, they just sent the cleaners to clean someplace already clean. I do not recommend them but the condo I lived in was nice... except in the winter when the heating unit was not working. read more

Worst of the worst!!!! They don't care about maintaining properties or dealing with tenants' requests. They just care about money. They are never in their office, they rarely answer the phone, they have no idea of how things work. Very rude and unprofessional! read more

Sandy and Alex have done a great job managing our properties for the last ten years. They handle everything from getting the tenant to clean up after the tenant moves. There was only one bad tenant and they even made that experience painless. read more

I really enjoyed renting from Meridian Property Management. They were very friendly and promptly responded to all emails and calls. They resolved issues quickly, never showed up unannounced, and were even helpful and fair when I had to break my lease. I definitely recommend renting from them. read more

Very bad! Do not trust them! They rob you blind and you have no control over what is going on. Save yourself and stay away from Meridian Property Management! I have a ton of document and e-mail proving their wrong doing. read more

Attention all potential future customers and residents - take your rental business ELSEWHERE. Do not engage in activities with Meridian Porperty Management, unless you want to partake in the CARELESSNESS and LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM that is involved in doing so. I could write pages about the construction that took 2-3 months on the apartment, delays due to nothing but lack of urgency to keep our home safe and habitable. And the "rent credit" received in relation to such matters was truly just an insult. Constant deflection, inability to take responsibility for anything and total obliviousness for the lives of residents in their units - just a few of their great qualities. You have been warned. read more

I was blessed to rent a townhome in Tierrasanta from Meridian Property Management for 5 years. I wish all property management companies where as personable, friendly, caring and concerned about their tenants as they were... thanks May, Sandy and Alex for all your help and support over the years. I am saddened to see any bad reviews... they were never anything but supportive and helpful to me and went out of their way to help me in any way possible. I just recently bought a condo, but if I ever find myself in need again of a rental or wish to rent out my new condo... I would definitely hire them! :) read more

If you have a rental property, you will want to use Meridian Property Management to manage your property. I contracted with them to manage my town house for 2 years. I was very, very impressed with their level of professionalism. They were always able to get it rented without much if any downtime. They were very communicative, kept detailed records and were always very prompt getting the monthly statement/rent to me. I ended up moving back in to the town house recently after the tenant vacated with no notice, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they put it back into pristine condition. While it was rented out, it was always nice knowing that I had a professional, competent team of people at Meridian taking care of everything for me. read more

The most terrible property management I have ever experienced. There responsiveness is horrendous. I have only been renting a short amount of period and I am unimpressed as how there management or lack there of has taken there mold infested apartments seriously. They do not care about there tenants. Stay away from the apartments on Jefferson Street in Midtown Memphis or so called "Village Apartments" there failed attempt in gentrifying this neighborhood. It is terrible that they just slap on some paint and call these mold infested apartments habitable. It is truly unethical and shameful. read more

We were tenants in a unit managed by Meridian. These folks couldn't have been more helpful. They were extremely responsive and our first positive rental experience in San Diego. The unit was well maintained and our service requests were promptly handled to our satisfaction each time something was required. We wouldn't hesitate to use Meridian in the future! read more

I first used Meridian as property managers for a condo that I own, since I live out of the country. I couldn't be happier with their service. I trusted them to make needed repairs, and to put the place in order when a tenant changed. They kept me informed, and acted quickly when there was a need. They always gave me options. Last fall I decided to sell the condo, and they served as the real estate agent. I was working with a time limit, and the unit sold within my time frame. Sandy and Maye are wonderful to work with, and Alex always explained what was going on with the sale. read more

PROFESSIONAL in every way. I have trusted my two rental properties to Alex and Sandy for over 10 yrs now. I have found them to be not only extremely competent, but also efficient and always ethical. They definitely take the worry out of being a landlord! I am thankful to have them on my team! read more

Sandy, May and their team have managed my property for over 5 years now. They have been VERY professional and efficient. When the long-term tenants decided to move out (they were on a month-to-month since they were there so long), Sandy and May contacted me right away and got things rolling to get a new tenant. They are such "rockstars" there will only be a 2 week lapse!!! That's AMAZING!! Thank you for handling things so well! read more
