Highly agree with the previous commenter who said to check the lease you sign carefully. Over a phone discussion with Meyers we agreed to one rental rate, then when we got the lease it was raised by 35%(!) however at that point it was too late to back out (was moving from another state and had a job lined up so I couldn't look for another house) so here I am with a word of warning Other than that, have heard good things about their maintenance and responsiveness! read more

Lousy agent who gets snotty when you call her out for continuing to send mass e-mails asking to show you their junk apartments inside of your work hours -- when you clearly stated you can't get there during certain times. Avoid these shysters and their sleazy "REALTOR" agents at all costs. You have been warned. Don't believe me? Just read all of the other one star reviews. read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THEM!!! Save yourself the trouble, there are plenty of other companies to rent from. Multiple buildings have bed bug infestations, appliances failing and they will not fix. Bad roofs that cause ceiling leaks. Washed and dryers fail and are rarely tended to. Units are not cleaned before move in. DO NOT RENT HERE. Nothing more than slumlords disguised as a corporation. read more

If you are considering renting from this company, DON'T. Run, don't walk, the other way. I rented an apt along Academy Ave in Lebo. Worst experience I've ever had as a tennant, after living in Bethel Park, Denver, Missoula, San Francisco and Jackson Hole. I mean, they do not care about their properties, maintain them, do basic upkeep tasks like mowing(if there's grass), leaking roof issues, plumbing issues were scary, and in winter, they don't turn the boiler on for apt heat until they feel like it. Absolutely disgusting and revolting. Avoid at all costs. BillV read more

I have my Counseling office at 300 Mt Lebanon Blvd- a Meyers Management property. There have been numerous code violations and security issues in this building since I began renting 5 years ago. Currently the restroom most convenient to my office is in horrible condition. The Women's Room door not only doesn't lock, it doesn't even close and on TWO occasions I have found men in there. I work with children and families- some of these children are very young. When I first looked at office space here I was assured the restrooms are kept locked for the safety and privacy of tenants. When I walked down the hall to the management office of Lebanon Shops, I couldn't help but notice the restroom closest to them is being completely renovated, so at least someone around here is getting their needs met...? I don't have any delusions of the property managers here ever actually caring about their tenants- that ship sailed years ago. I just want future renters to know that for the cheap prices, you are getting slumlord grade care. read more

See all

Would not return phone calls from tenants and claimed they never got phone calls. They blocked tenants emails so they wouldn't be bothered with complaints then lied and said it was a ludicrous accusation that they would do that. All about the rent $$$ and nothing else read more

Meyers Management - Proof property manager blocks emails from tenants. - Apartments Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is a very professional company! I highly recommend them. They are a wonderful team and you should look into them if you need housing!

Pay extra attention to the lease you sign, especially when you share room with others. They don't provide lease that splits bills, and can't protect you when your roommate doesn't pay the bills. read more

I live in Amberson Gardens and to be honest I loved this apartment until I found the first rat in my home. Just within six months, there are OVER TEN RATS being seen or caught or in my kitchen and living room. I asked the office (run by Meyers Management) for help no less than five times. What I got were just some rat traps. They never sent anyone to check where the rat entry points not to mention sealing the holes although we clearly told them where the holes were. Cannot be more disappointed! read more

They took more than 2 weeks to fix a SEWAGE EXPLOSION that happened in our house basement. Beware.

So Far So Good, Great Staff, Great Maintenance... Maybe with a good review Ill get a discount. The only thing that I could say is, do a better job cleaning the apartments before tenant moves in. read more

Management wants to extract as much money from you as possible, and help you out as little as possible. They are extra nice when showing you apartments, but don't expect that kind of concession as a tenant. The lease is extremely strict, and it is almost impossible to break the lease. Depending on who you talk to you will hear different things, so beware if they promise anything. I have been having a very difficult time trying to sublet my apartment: they show my apartment to tenants who want to move in much later and expect me to pay the difference. No matter how much I try, they refuse to tell prospective tenants when the apartment will actually be available (i.e. months before the end of the lease), leaving me in a stressful position: I must find a tenant before they do or I have to pay months of extra rent! The heaters are not hot enough in the winter, and they refuse to fix it. The trash rooms are gross, laundry is expensive and old, the elevator is dingy and smelly, the garage is in disrepair. The walls have been painted over multiple times, and don't bother trying to hang anything on the wall: the paint and bits of wall come right out. The walls are thin: I can hear my neighbors. read more

I have lived in a Meyers Management apartment for 4 years. They are really big in PIttsburgh, I am wondering if they are deleting people's comments, surprising that I don't see too many comments for them. Their apartments are usually at good locations, but inside the apartments are cheap dirt. They never do professional cleaning, it was the most awful place i had to deal with in my life. When I moved in all the screens were torn apart and i had to beg them more than a month to get it done. FInally, I was miserably bitten by all sorts of random creatures, and I went to a doctor, got a prescription and told them I will sue them if they do not provide a healthy living place for me and then they showed up the next day at 7am. I did not live in this apartment for several years because I liked it a lot, I lived here because it was very costly and tiring to move and the location was good/convenient to everything (Ruth Gardens apartments). They are extremely inflexible with lease end/start dates, they will treat you as a piece of shit if you dare ask any favors even if you are someone who has rented from them for several years. You cannot get them do anything on the phone, they will take your number and never call back. In my building, I spent an entire year very uncomfortably because on the second floor there were 2 apartments infested with bedbugs and you have to share your laundry machines with those people. The management always lies about that bug stuff you only learn it from your neighbors if you can. You will be paranoid wondering if you will get those bedbugs yourself as well and they will basically tell you to get lost if you ask for information. My apartment was mostly overheated in winter, I was opening al the windows, but when the furnace is broken, they do not fix it until 10 people call, you can freeze in the mean time, they could not care less. And they also do not start the furnace until late in October which is already very cold in Pittsburgh. Also, since the apartments are extremely old, in most cases, the heating is not adjustable. I never had problems with hot water. After fighting with them for several years to get some of the maintanence work done, I returned them an apartment that is better than what they gave me, so I got my deposit fully back in less than a month after I moved out. The rent increases are reasonable, I was paying $750 in 2009 per month for a 1-bedroom apartment, it increased to $785, $795, and $805 in the following years. read more

I give 1 star just because I cannot give 0 or negative. I live in 5623 Phillips Ave. The management sucks. The room is awful. Very dirty when I moved in. Everything is broken when we moved in. All the sinks was stuck. Fridge not working for several times. Even the oven has been wrong for long time and they just don't come to fix it. The gas has been leaking for several months until they come to fix it. The heating is also terrible. Very hot in the winter, but easily broken when the temperature drops to the lowest in the winter. Last winter, it broke three times in two weeks when the temperature was -20C. All kind of bugs in the summer and extremely hot in the room. At least 10C higher than outside. They treat us like nothing. The only thing they care is the rent. They raise our rent this year from 825 to 875. I am moving out without any hesitate. They like to shout at people in the phone and hang up while you are speaking. They never help. If anyone is considering their apartment, please please please take all the above into consideration. Update April 1st, 2016 I received an email this morning from Yelp informing me that my review got a reply from Meyers, which made me decide to write some updates. 1. Fortunately, I have already moved out. Unfortunately, but without surprise, I never get my deposit refunded. Neither have I received any information telling me why. I have tried to call them several times after I moved out for deposit refund. At first, they give me another phone number. I called during office hours on different days for several times. Nobody has ever answered. So I called Meyers again. Interestingly, they answered my call at first, but after they found out I was calling for deposit refund, they stopped to answer my calls. I called with a different number, they answered and hung up immediately after they heard my voice. I finally gave up for I have already moved to the west coast and flying back to Pitts is too much for me. 2. For the maintenance, I was accused of not contacting them to report the issue. How ridiculous! I was the one suffered from the coldness of -20C on winter nights. Who, in this situation, won't make the phone call immediately! I understand that the weather was really bad and I had to be patient. I asked them to fix this ASAP. And a ASAP in their definition was three days. 3. Last but not least, it's true that this is my only review. I'm more than happy to admit that I have never used Yelp before and I signed up just for writing this review. I have my right to write down my experience and express my feelings. I also feel offended to see my name in quotation marks. The rudeness is right in their comment. No more updates in the future. read more

OK, let's be realistic. There's no good rental in Pittsburgh, everything is old, and overpriced around the CMU and Pitt, compared to any other city or college neighborhood. But for the purpose of this review, this is not what matters. No one would benefit from these reviews if everyone says everything sucks. Yes, I agree, they all suck, but some are much worse than the others. Like most others who move there for the good universities, I spent 5 years in Pittsburgh. I was scammed by Lobos, and spent the first year in one of their properties. If you think Meyers is bad, spend one year in one of Lobos' properties and you'll see what bad means! Anyway, then I was with Mozart for one year, much much better, still not as good as Meyers; and I spent the last three years with Meyers. Yes, I agree, those are old smelly overpriced properties; and their customer service is not perfect. But what they have is much much much better than anything else you could find in that neighborhood. Oh, and I'm warning you for the last time, do yourself a favor and stay away from Lobos. If there was a crowdfunding campaign to sue Lobos, I would definitely contribute! If I wanted to move back to Pittsburgh, and go to school again, I would immediately go with Meyers. read more

Omg their one leasing agent Bill went sooooo far above and beyond for us. Great agent!

They deserve zero stars. This management company is completely unprofessional. They are extremely neglectful of their tenants. They have rude receptionists(except for 1), who do not listen to you, but instead pass you off to some voice mail, that is never checked or responded to. The property manager of the 5641 Phillips Ave Squirrel Hill apartments is particularly awful. I have left him three voice-mails, none of which were addressed. Which is made worse by the fact that they were urgent matters. Our maintenance requests are only allowed via an online system, which also apparently never gets checked. We have made numerous requests for our leaky shower, and going on the 7th month, it is still leaking. every single day. They show up unannounced to put in cameras in the hallway. The lease agreement we signed said they would give us 24 hour notice before showing our apartment, which actually means 10 hours notice, if you are lucky. In the middle of winter, they thought it would be a good idea to replace the two best windows in our apartment, and ignore those falling apart. We had a maintenance man pound on our door at 1am one night, yelling at us to let him in. We initially thought it was someone not to be trusted, but turns out Meyers Management had okay-ed this person to come barging into our home in the middle of the night, because the tenant below us complained of a leak. So the only way we get our leaks addressed is if it bothers the people below us. If it is just our problem, than it remains our problem, and Meyers will not send anyone out to fix it. To exacerbate this awful service, rent has gone up every single year. As rent has gone up, our service has gotten worse. I would strongly advise against renting with this company. They are the worst. read more

Not perfect, but they're a lot better than most management companies and certainly have been very good to me. I've been staying in Schenley House for about five years and running. Rent increases are inevitable, but manageable and fair. The maintenance requests I put in have all been handled in a timely manner and the jobs were all well done, especially the emergency cases (clogged bathtub, broken toilet, broken kitchen food disposal unit) among other things. You can also pay for the rent using a credit card with no additional fee (there's a fee if you do so online) at the management office, which is open from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday thru Friday. Would recommend renting from them if possible. read more

I stayed there for three years. Not perfect, but much better than other management companies. The truth is that all Pittsburgh buildings are old, and the ones near the universities are really overpriced. But Meyers management is more fair in how they increase their rent, and how they treat their customers. If I want to go back to study at CMU again, I would immediately go back to their bayard rd properties. read more

This place is terrible. There was a power outage and my son couldn't get in because it requires using a keypad. He called the management after hours number. They said they don't have a master key and to be patient His roommate couldn't come down to open the door from the inside because they lock the stairways. He sat outside in the storm for over 3 hours until the power came on at 2:30 am. He had a big test in his 8 am class the following morning so he wasn't happy. I was concerned about the stairways being locked ...what if there was a fire read more

I lived at 147 N Craig St for 2 years, and I wish I could take that back. BEWARE OF BED BUGS. The management did not even warn the tenants. If they had warned and taken action earlier, it wouldn't have come this far since they already knew that there was a room that was infected. My whole entire floor became infected, and not once was I or anyone warned. There is valet parking but they never pick up the phone and takes about 30 minutes to get your car. Lamont never picks up the phone either, and even avoided me during the bed bug situation. When they were treating my apartment, they would barge into my room when I wasn't home without any notification or permission. I wanted to move out early because of all of this, but they refused, so I had to pay the remainder of the lease, while living in hell. I also spent thousands of dollars treating the bed bugs myself and had to spend weeks at a hotel (with my own money). They are rude and treat students like shit because they know we have no other place to go. But that's not true. There are so many other better alternatives to this place, please trust me. If I wasn't a student, I would have already sued them. I can't even wrap my head around how this place has some good reviews on here. Whatever you do, don't live here. If after reading all this and you still choose to live here, prepare yourself for the worst and remember that I warned you. read more

Don't live here unless you have bad credit and can't get a room anywhere else. So many things are wrong with this place, but they don't really evict people. They took me to court twice in two years to try to evict me, but both times their representative DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP, so I won and kept the apartment. Problems here include they ignore all maintenance requests, they have ants, laundry machines go unrepaired for 6 months, and the rent tracking system online is very hard to follow. It's frequently told me I owe less than I should, or more than I should. I showed this to the judge during an eviction hearing and he told me I didn't even have to pay court fees, because Meyers is so ridiculous. I did get them to fix some stuff in my apartment after months but only by refusing to pay my rent until they fixed it. And now my sink leaks and grows mold and they won't fix that either, so I have to battle them again... read more
