What renters should know

From 2022 to 2025, Cedar Run (now Meridian at Cherry Creek) had well-documented serious problems: 17 city health citations with liens, tenant organizing and protests in 2023, a heat outage, a fire with asbestos, and a 2025 habitability lawsuit that was dismissed within weeks. Gelt owns the property and AMC managed it, and management appears to have changed around January 2026 (possibly to Avenue 5). Evidence on current conditions is thin and mixed.
