Renter Beware - filthy, smoky unit
My 20 y.o. son, a full-time student and worker, and his 20 y.o. roommate, also a full-time worker, toured a very clean, smoke-free model at Meridian Park Apartments. In good faith, they signed a lease believing their unit would be as clean as the model. They were not allowed to tour their rental unit until after signing a lease. On move-in day, they found their unit to be filthy and heavily smoked in. They could not move in because it was so bad. After protesting and requesting a clean unit, the... management finally said the renters are bound to deal with it. Management never made it right. This was my son and his roommate's first experience in renting an apartment, and to protect their health, they decided not to move in. How sad to treat any renter this way. These young men wasted so much of their hard-earned funds to get out of the lease. I do not see how this complex stays in business. With our terrible experience and poor reviews from other renters, it is obvious that Meridian Park Apartments management is deceitful about promoting a sanitary and smokefree unit while hiding the disgusting truth of the condition of the actual rental units. This is a crooked way of conducting business, and I would not recommend this apartment.
