Hey all, I am trying to find an apt for when my lease ends june 30th of 2025 (currently live in williamsburg). I have found a few places within my price range and like the apts; but i have one question.(sorry if this sounds stupid, but im 23, and only ever signed with 1 apt/mgmt company, and that was 2 years ago for my first apt) but why does it seem like all the apts i have been wanting to apply to, only allow for me to apply 3-4 months in advance?

the reason being is, because the current apt complex, while it is in a college town and caters as such to primarily college students; allows for applicants to apply up to 11 months in advance. I feel like that my apt complex might be a rarity in that sense; so i am wondering if you all know of apts that would allow me to apply closer to 6+ months out? Just curious, since i dont want to be in the position where i start an application, and then the mgmt takes longer than expected just to potentially deny me, and then me potentially be shit out of luck with my current apt complex, just because i didnt resign, due to waiting for the response.

I know this might be niche; but i thought i would shoot my shot lol

I'm seeking to rent a room in the Fan or surrounding area. Must have access to kitchen. I work at VCU full time. Prefer a private landlord. As I don't make 3x the rent but does make 2x the rent. No more than a $1000 a month. Looking to move in November or by Dec 1st.

About me. I am 50 years young. I am young at heart. I have an adult daughter that may come over to visit once in awhile. I have been clean and sober for almost 15 months. I work 2-10:30. I am quiet and like to keep the house clean. I am currently working on my credit. I enjoy watching TV and movies. Cooking for my housemates on occasion. I love music like Elvis Costello, The Clash, Johnny Cash etc. I love thrift store shopping and yard sales. It would be wonderful if there was a small yard because I love to garden. I love dogs and treat them as if they are my child. I would love if I could possibly get my own dog. As they are a good emotional support dog for me.

I would like to be walking distance to VCU.

I am open to a 1 bdrm or studio apartment.

Please send me a dm if you know or have something available. Thanks.

Edited to add I am lgbtq friendly. My daughter recognizes as queer.

Hello! I am looking to move to RVA and I am wanting recommendations on safe (especially for a single female) apartments preferably near VCU. I say luxury-ish because I am willing to pay a higher price of rent to avoid safety concerns, pests, etc. I would prefer a 1 bedroom apartment but I am open to studios. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! It seems like every apartment I find on Apartments.com have reviews of warnings, pests, break-ins, etc.

Hi, I'm Rowan (Trans Man 25) and I'm looking for someone to room with in the rva area. I'm hoping to find someone who I can not only tolerate but get along with. Ideally, I'll find a roomie and then we can find accomodations together.

A bit about me, I'm a big nerd for gaming and anime. I've got two cats who warm up to people pretty quickly. I know how to keep to myself but prefer to socialize at least a bit. I'm fairly clean in my own space and when I'm not I know how to keep my mess contained to my room. I'm not one for big parties, but board game night will happen.

The ideal place for me is at or less than 1400/month rent (or 700 per person depending) plus utilities. I need my own bathroom and certainly wouldn't mind an extra communal bedroom for whatever we may need. The place should allow pets. I'd prefer not to have to pay pet rent, but know it's often unavoidable. Should also have washer and dryer or w/d hookups. Other amenities are nice, but overall optional. Location is flexible. (Doesn't even have to be in rva as I'm also looking at norfolk area)

I'm okay rooming with a couple, but if we have 2 bedrooms and 3 residents, I'd want to split rent and utilities 30/30/40 as everyone shares the common areas. With 3 rooms and 3 residents, we'd just split it evenly.

If you have pets, it should be fine as long as they can get along with others and we don't have too many overall. (Most apartments have a pet limit but a house likely wouldn't)

You can be of any gender, or age, as long as you are open minded and willing to communicate.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a message or leave a comment!

Hi, 24 year old male moving to Richmond this October. Searching for a room to rent/share near VCU / near downtown Richmond area. My budget is 600-700.

I've been going back and forth about renting from Rivah Rock Properties. I can't find much info on the company, though it seems like a small family-owned business. They asked I pay the deposit via money order or cash. I don't think I've paid any landlord in that way since maybe 2008.

Should I be concerned?

Does anyone have any experience renting from them?

I've been speaking with a woman named Anne this whole time.

Hello I'm a 35 year old female that's looking for a studio or 1 bedroom apartment preferably as close to the DuPont plant on Jeff Davis as possible considering I don't have reliable transportation at the moment. I make at least 2400 a month after taxes which can bump up to at least 2700 with all the overtime I often get. I currently pay 1100 a month as a roommate and considering the prices for rent here in rva I can get a full apartment for that much. However these app fees and admin fees are killing me. I don't need anything fancy as long as it's pest free and doesn't carry a massive draft in the winter I'm happy to have a look. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Opinions appreciated, considering it as an option and if anyone’s lived there—thoughts, opinions?

Currently looking to sublet my room in a 2bd/1ba apartment in the Fan, just two blocks away from the Siegel Center. Perfect for VCU students who need a rental for the next Spring semester. Lease ends May 2025.

Rent is $825 a month, has on street parking, coin operated washer/dryer in building, and is recently renovated with brand new appliances. You would have 1 male roommate who is a recent VCU grad and would share a bathroom.

I can be flexible with the term and would leave some furniture as well depending on what you’d like to keep. I can share pictures as well through PM. Message me!

PSA for anyone looking to rent a “luxury” apartment from Virginia Premier Investments.

I moved in mid-July to what was supposed to be a “luxury” NEW build apartment but soon things started not adding up. Turns out they moved us in illegally before all inspections were done to receive their certificate of occupancy (permission from the city for people to live in the building) and were trying to cover it up with the city. RVA housing department hasn’t gotten back to me on how this even happened.

Apart from the building being unfinished and being rushed to move in, 2 months later my unit’s HVAC still doesn’t run properly from move-in despite over 10 visits from their HVAC vendor, the locks to the building and units don’t bolt securely, the smoke alarm wasn’t placed properly according to fire code, common areas are filthy, and their leasing agents and maintenance come by whenever they please with 20 minutes-half a day’s notice, if that.

Hi, I’m a young professional looking for a 1 bd 1 bath apartment, no pets. My budget is $900-1150. Rent inclusive of utilities would be an added bonus. If anyone knows of anything in the Fan, Museum District, or Churchill, please keep me posted. I deeply appreciate it, this has been an ongoing search.

Looking for an apartment and trying to avoid all the shitty slumlords which seems to be 90% of properties available in RVA….. I’ve heard mixed things about Bear Granville, anybody have any personal experiences with them, good or bad?

Moving unexpectedly, and I'd like to transfer the remainder of my lease. The lease goes through March 3rd.

Internet is included in the rent.

Utilities average about $120 a month.

Parking is included. Pets are allowed, but a pet fee would apply.

I’m an older gay male looking for a reasonably priced rental ($800-$1000) close to downtown or a room in a house with not a lot of roommates. I currently live in Shockhoe Bottom/Church Hill area.

Hey RVA, I am currently getting kicked out of my apartment (Sept 17, 2024) with my roommate at the American Tobacco Center. We have been dealing with bed bugs which without a doubt was from a neighboring unit because these things were full grown, black mold, and overly humid apartment even with the AC running at 70F. Also our electric bill is $225 for one month, which sounds absolutely absurd… is this normal for a 800 sqft apartment?

We are getting kicked out because I sent out a written email vacancy notice about a month ago. We had talked to a lady who works at the ATC leasing office who knew we sent the email and said that method is not valid. She said we need to fill out the ATC vacancy form on a piece of paper and once we submit that paper we have 30 days until we can move out. So we have been misled and under the impression that until we submit that vacancy form, we do not have to move out. However, we talked to her yesterday and now she is saying someone used that vacancy email I wrote and put it in the system that we are indeed vacating today. They rented out the apartment so they seem to be dead set on letting us go.

We told the leasing office 3 weeks ago about the mold problem; mold was growing on the vents. We have asked them multiple times over the span of three weeks do something about the mold and change the air filters. The mold has made us genuinely sick with the symptoms of: coughing, brain fog, mental and physical fatigue. I also have asthma which makes matters worse for me.

Anyone know what we should do?

Also does anyone know of a 2bed room any bathroom, in the fan or in the vicinity of that area for $1600 max?

Thank you all

Hello!! My fiancé and I (age28female and age29male) are currently looking for a house or townhouse in the Richmond/Midlothian/Powhatan area ready to move in by the end of December/beginning of January! We currently rent a 2 bedroom apartment in Petersburg for 1300 a month, and would like to stay around that same price range! We are just looking for a small home or townhouse as we will need more space because we have a small dog, and are now expecting a baby come the end of April! My fiancés job is in Powhatan and now that we’re expecting a baby we need to be closer! We’re currently 45 minutes away. Our lease ends in December so I would love to be ready to move into the place the day our lease is up! My husband has a full time job and both of our credit is fair (not the greatest) but around 600! And he makes 2.5/3x the monthly rent!!

In exchange for routinely being there overnight and helping an elderly lady to the bathroom overnight, willing to exchange paid for rent and utilities.

Female only considered, my stepmom has 24/7 caregivers which is very expensive so looking for a roommate for her willing to help her to the bathroom once a night. She can walk just fine but gets need direction to find the bathroom or know to go back to sleep. You would be there overnight and provide that assistance once a night. She would have caregivers there during all other hours. Anytime you can’t be there overnight we would schedule a caregiver.

One bedroom for free, all utilities paid, garage for storage or car parking, commit to 5-7 days a week to be there overnight (hours negotiable) but 8-8 am or 10-8 am. House is furnished and in rural area.

If her situation changed and she required more care overnight would adjust arrangement or pay this person for more substantial care provided.

Anyone have experience with the Circ Apartments in the Fan, good or bad? Interested in moving in to The Fan area and it seems like one of the few apartment building options. I toured there recently and was underwhelmed by the amenities, but location seems solid.

I'm 65 and I have an 18 year old high functioning Asperger's son who works. I'm on social security but with prices today and out rent going up to a point I just can't afford it anymore by myself. I'm an amputee and like to be around no drama. I'm looking for a roommate, friend, and someone trustworthy because I am. Bills are paid first! I have a pet dog who I've had for 8 years and it's part of my family and it's part of the deal. He's a true lover and wouldn't bite anyone. The economy is pushing us to do this. All my family is dead so it's just Noah and I. I hope to hear from only those serious. We will relocate

I read the posts on here about Catherine and I am being sued by her for long story short rent, when she originally told me, because we were getting along then that my last month I could apply my deposit. Now that she is mad she changed her story, I am moving on the 14th, yet she is still taking me to court on the 13th for back rent, and to place an eviction on my record. I am fighting her. She asked me to stay, when I refused I got served. She came at me calling me trash, saying I associate with "those type of people" calling her handyman and my neighbor racial bigoted slurs, she refused to fix issues, and so on. I was wondering if I could somehow get a statement from anyone willing to stand up for justice to take with me to fight her. I am attempting with the assistance of the many people in the local community and multiple other organizations to get her to stop and for Richmond to take notice, hopefully she will not be able to continue to rent if she doesn't mend her ways, and more. She needs to be held accountable, and I need more proof of her antics, so this does not look like a single incident. I don't want to create something, only show the truth. If anyone is willing please let me know.

Hello everyone

I’m trying to find an apartment to rent but I’m currently on probation for a possession charge. Money is good and legitimate but I was denied from a place I thought would be good because of the background check. Do any of yall know a place that would be able to work with that situation? Anywhere within like 15-20 minutes would be ideal. Flexible on the budget as well.

Thank you all for your help
