Merida Apartment Homes

Been here 3 years. When i first moved in the management company had my unit left dirty and roaches. Since then they have changed ownership a couple times and its been alot better. They care about fixing everything instead of leaving it for months down the line. Water issues are pretty rare now. No roaches at all. And alot of troublemaking neighbors were kicked out. Overall, alot better.

Shown clean apartment with newer appliances cause the one I was going to be moving to wasn’t ready till date of move in and on a Friday after 4 pm. Unfortunately signed lease at this time and given key to an unclean apartment. Was told it would be cleaned before move in. Couple came in to clean but left it so dirty. Trim was filthy floors were so sticky greasy and gross. The carpet in the bedrooms were dirty black spots all over and not cleaned also leak from outside into bedroom leaving carpet… soaked and smelled of wet and mildew. Windows and window seals were so dirty without screens and blinds broken. Sliding patio door didn’t open or close properly. The counters in kitchen falling apart. The fridge and stove are the oldest on property the microwave is real high no vent no glass for microwave hasn’t been cleaned I. Years . The bathtubs in both bathrooms are disgusting and the cabinets are filthy. The ac hasn’t worked since moving in. Pest control has come 1 time since living here in March. I reported leak causing carpet in room to be soaked they came 1 time made hole in the ceiling in my bedroom and another in the bathroom. This happen 3 months ago maintenance didn’t come back leaving 2 big holes now taped up cause they claim to be waiting to find leak. Only leak is not coming from upstairs it’s coming from the ac unit. You hear water dripping as long as it’s on. Don’t even work when on. The dishwasher smells so bad. I don’t use it but have to run it to get smell out. The water is shut off all the time for emergencies that occur daily. There is no cold water in shower so I don’t take showers at home. I am home 2 days out of my week. My rent is paid every first of the month using flex pay rent is broken into 2 payments totaling out to 1156 but my rent is 940 month. Plus we pay cable, pest control, garbage water which office says that’s my portion for the month. I am home about 8 days out of the month is pretty expensive for such a short period. The closets are not walk in they have doors that slide but don’t stay on track. There is no handicap parking no accommodations for the handicap or disabled residents. The sink is gross it has no drain cover you can see straight down to garbage disposal . Also 2 dumpsters on property that I’ve seen and both so far away. Also big holes throughout the parking area big enough to to cause damage to tires. Pool advertised moved in March and not been open one time. No deadbolt doesn’t feel secured. DON’T RENT HERE!!

Mgmt doesn’t respect tenants needs. Maintenance not available on weekends!

If we could this place would get zero stars, as our building has had no hot water since thanksgiving, when questioned about the issue they claim that there working on the issue. The place advertises a pool, well the pool has not worked in 2 years. If you want your car damaged this is the place to be as there are numerous potholes in the parking lot that will damage your car. Right now, code enforcement has cited the complex for numerous violations, balconies that are in need of repair, issues… with parking lots, dangerous playground. Oh yeah been issues with mail theft as we been a victim of that as well, we are moving out at the end of January, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Read More
