^If you have not had your deposit returned, do not respond to me privately. Please respond on this post as this needs to be as public as possible. Rick Hemerick gets away with this because most people are too scared to say something publicly.*
According to my neighbor;s attorney, he has six civil cases against him currently, plus a lien.
Tony, his sidekick has now stood her up twice when she has asked for a walk-through so that she can get her deposit back. The place is immaculate. She also found out from someone she works with that stayed there 4 years ago, that she never got her deposit back.
What's interesting is that she texted him and ask him where he was as she was waiting for him. He said to give the keys to the workmen. Interesting. Two minutes after she left, the workmen went in with instructions to work on the apartment. No walk through. Nobody checked.
Rick Hemerick had evicted 75% of his tenants when I arrived. Over the past month, in blatant violation of the lease, he evicted 25% - or rather attempted to! Every attorney consulted indicated that what Rick Hemerick and Tony were doing was completely illegal. Yet he has been getting away with it for years.
I cannot find a single thing about him on the web. So now I'm writing about it so that other people can be warned...

- Tessa; you can report Rick Hemerick here: http://www.tenancybureau.com/us.php?Country=&Region=&City=
REPLY 28 Apr 2014 - +Nancy Stowell thank you. We will do. We are taking him to court and were approached by two TV shows to do it live. Judge Judy also phoned so you must know the guy is bad news.
REPLY 28 Apr 2014 - No problem. Having helped my dad with his rentals I know the difference between inaction and a "Slumlord".
Had a neighbor that moved into one of his places on Greenfield in El Cajon. He charged her $500 deposit and after she moved in he charged her another $300 because she had a dog - which he knew about beforehand.
But I think they deserved each other because when she moved out after only 9 months of living there she had cracked and broken the tile in both the kitchen and bath, totally gouged and deep scratched the hardwood floors, and there was black mold everywhere. And the special she left was a backyard full of dog poo!
Yep, they deserved each other.
And by all means - do it on TV! - I love seeing slime balls get their just desserts!REPLY 28 Apr 2014 - +Nancy Stowell Just curious how you found this post. I put it on G+ specifically so that if people googled him they could find this. There is virtually nothing on him on the web. About time that changed.
REPLY 28 Apr 2014 - I agree. I found your post via a search for him on Google. So your post worked. And thanks.
REPLY 28 Apr 2014 - +Nancy Stowell any particular reason you were looking for him besides your friend?
REPLY 28 Apr 2014 - I and at least three other people I know also had extremely negative encounters with Rick Hemerick (keeping deposits, renting units infested with cockroaches, blocking access to laundry, blocking handicapped access, entering units without proper notice). I hope more people read this and stay away. Congratulations on winning your case!
REPLY 6 Oct 2014 - +Claire Johnson For the record, Rick Hemerick owns 16 pages of apartments. The correct person to sue is The Hemerick Family Trust. I've met numerous people whom he doesn't refund deposits to. Apparently, this has been going on for 20 years or more.
In addition, he repeatedly breaks leases and evicts people as soon as they complain about bedbugs, roaches, etc.
He puts Rick Hemerick on the leases to mislead. It should be 'The Hemerick Family Trust.' He also never puts an address. His property managers possibly have false names and no addresses. We've checked their cell phone numbers and these are under the names of different people.
Hemerick also doesn't go to the small claims court to defend, That's because one is suing the name of the lease which is the wrong name. If you do this, there is a form to fill in SC-105 to change the name to Hemerick Family Trust.
After you have done that, claim three times the deposit that is not returned to you for deposit and damages.

Hi Tessa,
Myself and some friends rented one of Rick Hemerick's apartments in San Diego (on 30th St) for the summer. We left at the end of august as we are students in Ireland but were on a summer visa. We are still awaiting our deposit ($1500). Starting to get suspicious, I started doing some research myself and found your review and some other reviews and saw all the court cases he's been involved in and realise now the slim chances of actually getting it back!! So I was wondering did you end up successfully getting your deposit back? And if there's anything else helpful you could tell me. I know it isn't a crazy amount of money but as 21 year old students I'm sure you can imagine it is quite a lot to us! To be honest though, its not even the money thing as much as the principle... I'm really angry that this guy (and Tony!!) is trying to take advantage of a young group of naive Irish girls. Feeling really stupid right now.
Would really appreciate any advice you have,
Thank you!
HaileyREPLY 15 Nov 2014 - PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME PRIVATE POSTS. If Rick Hemerick is not returning your deposit, it is the norm. This is what he does. The only way this man can be stopped is for the thousands of people to whom he did this is to post in public on the web. Post your story here and on yelp. He plays on the fact that the public does not know about this. When enough people have written about this, at some point, someone can begin to take a class action against the man and he will, hopefully, have to return every last penny to this hundreds of thousands of people he has retained deposits from over the past thirty years.
I posted my story so that people can follow my example. I have no advice.REPLY 15 Nov 2014 - +Tessa Schlesinger
Hey Tessa, "Hemerick Family Trust" isn't on the lease I signed, but that is who you think I should name as the defendant?REPLY 14 Apr 2016 - +Ryan Ream You need to query it. We found that we couldn't collect the money because he just put Rick Hemerick. I think you need to go to the court, explain the situation, and get some advice. He is being crooked as all hell by putting the wrong entity on the lease.
REPLY 14 Apr 2016 - Hi Tessa, I'm now at the claim court and I have just read all the comments on this page. I'm shocked. He owes me $2,200... there is any way that all of us join a class action against him?
REPLY 11 Oct 2016 - that is the only way to go. He has been getting away with this for more than 2 decades. +Alessandro Mereu
REPLY 11 Oct 2016 - My husband and myself are now currently dealing with rick and tony trying to charge us for an additional months rent on top of half a months rent even tho they told us our lease was 6 months then month to month afterwards. We only have a copy of a rental application that doesn't even specify a specific lease. I don't recall even signing a lease...not sure what to do but I know they are not readily available via phone or text message. Any thoughts? And I'm sure our deposit won't be returned even though the place was left immaculate. So glad to not have to deal with them as landlords anymore but this is still a pain in the as. #rickhemerick
REPLY 21 Apr 2017 - +Kat Brackett These people have cheated and stolen from tenants for more than two decades, and then get away with it. Basically, you need to go to court. Just ignore them. Don't pay. And get out as fast as you can.
REPLY 21 Apr 2017 - Now I am working. When I'll be back home I'll give you the correct person
that you have to bring to courtREPLY 21 Apr 2017 - 22 Apr 2017
- I am currently being evicted by Tony, assumedly because I told him I have cockroaches. He asked me on Monday if I sent my rent via mail or dropped it off and once I told him I dropped it off he immediately said he was issuing me a notice. He is such a terrible human being and has screamed at me numerous times in the few months I have lived there. Is there anything we can do together to stop this or receive justice??
REPLY 6 Jul 2017 - Look, I was able to bring him in court but I have been there without lawyer
and they won (because they are doing this scams from long time)..
Text me thursday morning and we could meet to talk about it.
Alex 6462587741REPLY 6 Jul 2017 - We were never able to collect the money because the name on the lease was wrong, but we did win the court case. +carlee krichmar +Alessandro Mereu At this point, there are enough of you on this thread for me to do a story. We need publicity and we need some sort of collective legal action. However, none of us can afford that individually.
REPLY 6 Jul 2017 - I also know another of his ex tenant that would like to be part of the
class action. What we do? We plan a meeting all of us together?REPLY 6 Jul 2017 - +Alessandro Mereu My problem is that I am no longer in the States, and my daughter is in Katy. I do, however, have the power of media. Just the fact that you and others have found this thread is indicative of this.
REPLY 6 Jul 2017 - 6 Jul 2017
- Hey Tessa! Yes I would love for us to work together to put all of his misconduct to end end.
Sent from my iPhoneREPLY 7 Jul 2017 - 7 Jul 2017
- Hi I have had some terrible issues with this person and property as well. I am so worried because my "deposit" which he now called "accounting" statement will be in the mail by Monday is worrying me. I've been looking him up and I really hope he isn't going to try to pull something shady over me. is it worth filing a claim if he does?
REPLY 19 Jul 2017 - We won the court case and then discovered he had put thr wtong name on the lease.
REPLY 20 Jul 2017 - I hope he will give you back your deposit, but at now I have never known
anyone who got it backREPLY 20 Jul 2017 - +Alessandro Mereu Out of the four of us (different apartments he gave notice to), one person got hers back. I think it was simply done out of spite to the rest of us.
REPLY 20 Jul 2017 - Yeah I am totally interested in getting the news involved also
Sent from Mail for Windows 10REPLY 17 Aug 2017 - Hi Yanira, I'm in, and I know another guy that would be interested in. Let
me know what we need to do. I don't know Toni's last name but I may find.
I'll let you know tomorrow.
AlexREPLY 17 Aug 2017 - I just contacted channel 8 and channel 5. I shared my story and Informed them that there are at least 5-6 of us interested. I was very clear that this is a violation of all of our rights, as he he illegally deducting my money from things are Landlord responsibilities. and that this a social justice matter.
Even though I just emailed these channels, I think it could be really helpful if some of you guys could do the same. so any of these channels answer to any of us.REPLY 17 Aug 2017 - 17 Aug 2017
- 17 Aug 2017
- I will help how ever needed. I was told to also file a charge on him. but have you ever seen how many Charges he already has? ALOT! I think I have Tony's last name on the old "lease" I signed. I think getting the media involved would be the best action to take.
REPLY 18 Aug 2017 - I haven't forgotten. I had to get all the documents from my daughter so that I could have the exact facts at my fingertips. Will do shortly.
REPLY 18 Aug 2017 - +Tessa Schlesinger thanks Tessa. please keep up updated. I am starting the lawsuit this Friday.
REPLY 22 Aug 2017 - 22 Aug 2017
- +Tessa Schlesinger I will see a lawyer Friday. They might be able to take this case as a collective action-- and they really want to. I'll update you.

We still haven't been able to collect the money because the name he put on the lease is not the name where the money has to be collected from.REPLY 13 Nov 2017 - 13 Nov 2017
- HI!!! Thank you so much!!
