Filing Date: October 24, 2025
Document: Image Publicarion and Distribution related Exhibits C-E to Second Amended Complaint (proposed Oct. 24, 2025), publicly accessible via Charleston County docket.
Part of: Motion for Leave to File Second Amended Complaint - Exhibit K of Second Amended Complaint which is Exhibit A of the Motion

Executive Summary

Meridian’s published private tenant images - that Plaintiffs allege were obtained without informed consent in 2 instances:

  1. Still images taken during an “inspections” by Meridian predecessor Roadstead and ;
  2. A Matterport virtual tour shot under the premise "We will use AI to remove images of you and your belongings"
Plaintiff allege this violates privacy rights and that their prior safety requests and standing up to multiple misrepresentations of S.C. landlord-tenant law suggest retaliatory motivation.

No other Meridian Residential Group properties have been noted with tenants or their belongings depicted in the images.

The following Exhibits document what Plaintiffs allege to be falsified consent, multi-platform exploitation, and the resulting takedown demands by Plaintiffs, exposing systemic gaps in tenant privacy, respect, and dignity in Charleston’s housing crisis.

Platforms like Zillow and Realtor.com hosted unedited photos for months. For nearly all of this time, the Plaintiffs were unaware, and they still lived at the residence the first month of publication, creating safety risks by making their location available to an unstable family member they have had multiple documented restraining orders against.

The prominent Meridian watermarks on the still images and Meridian branding on the virtual tour created a false endorsement by the tenants of a company they are now suing.

Rockets Fight exposes this to demand accountability and prevent recurrence.
