Executive Summary

Email Plaintiffs Chris McNeil & Meaghan Poyer sent Meridian on May 23, 2025 titled

"Lease Renewal Proposal and Term Adjustment Request", responding to renewal options and proposing a good-faith renewal framework while requesting health & safety and deferred maintenance items (e.g., duct cleaning, insulation/asbestos confirmation, functional windows/screens, and replacement of broken venetian blinds).

The email followed:

  • Prior renewal options were provided by Meridian, prompting Plaintiffs to respond with a structured proposal grouped by category (health/safety, deferred improvements, lease term flexibility, pet fee fairness, utilities).

  • Ongoing deferred maintenance context, including broken or missing blinds, which William Olasov had told Plaintiff's "the owners will be replacing" when showing the house before lease signing, and which were further discussed early in the tenancy with then-property-management company Roadstead, but not resolved.
The email preceded:

  • May 29, 2025: The first Notice to Vacate email (with an unsigned NTV PDF attachment, no sender attribution, and no body content in the email).

  • June 4, 2025: The second Notice to Vacate email, signed by Dana DeVoe-Riddick of Meridian Residential Group, LLC, stating “the owner wants to do renovations.”
