M&M Rentals agreed to a $1 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming that it rented out uninhabitable apartments at the D Street apartments in Salida, Colorado, and wrongfully retained security deposits.
The settlement benefits three classes:
- Class 1: People who resided at the D Street apartments in Salida, Colorado, on May 2, 2017
- Class 2: Individuals whose security deposits were not returned after renting one of M&M Rentals’ apartments at 102-120 D Street apartments, 233 E. 1st St., and 117 ½ F St. from April 24, 2017 to present
- Class 3: Consumers who rented an apartment from M&M Rentals at 102-120 D Street apartments, 233 E. 1st St., and 117 ½ F St. since April 24, 2015
According to the rental class action lawsuit, M&M Rentals violated tenant rights by renting uninhabitable units with no heat, raw sewage leaks and other problems. To make matters worse, the company allegedly retained security deposits when these funds should have been returned to renters.
M&M Rentals and its owner John Mehos previously owned D Street apartments in Salida. Since then, the D Street apartments have been purchased by the city, which plans to turn the buildings into affordable workforce housing.
M&M Rentals hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $1 million settlement to resolve the rental class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on which class they are a part of.Â
Class 1 members can receive a payment based on the economic and noneconomic damages they experienced. Class 2 members can receive a cash payment based on the amount M&M Rentals retained of their security deposits. Class 3 members can receive a cash payment based on the amount of rent they paid during the class period.Â
The deadline for exclusion and objection was Aug. 28, 2023.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Jan. 9, 2024.
In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Nov. 25, 2023.

One thought on M&M Rentals D Street apartments $1M class action settlement
To Whom It May Concern,
I am just asking you about how to start a class action lawsuit regarding California storage facilities, like Public Storage, restricting gate access after 14 days of non-payment of storage rent, imposing a newly developed notice that went into effect immediately called a combination lock deposit of $50. on the 14th day of non-payment. In addition, I was informed by an employee to follow a vehicle that had entered their gate code to gain entry to my unit. Unable to exit the facility once inside, I was instructed to establish a mobile Public Storage app account on my phone. Once the account was created I attempted to use the app in order to exit and was restricted from leaving the facility, and the account was flagged. I have been unable to gain access to my unit in order to retrieve items to sell so that I can pay the unit fee. In closing, I previously had an account with Public Storage. I moved out 3 days after the 1st of the month. I paid for the days used, and the unit was immediately rented out to another person. To date, Public Storage is holding me responsible for the full rental amount of the unit, from over 3-years ago.
