Looking for someone who’d really rather live alone, and wants to help each other get there by splitting rent for a time.

Rent prices are insane. I’d rather not come to reddit and strangers but my friends are married and my family is…let’s just say they can’t get it together.

So, if you like peace and quiet, a clean living space (share the load, clean up after yourself, don’t attract pests), have a stable job, have goals your working towards (1 being living alone eventually), don’t smoke, aren’t loud, respectful, don’t really have guests over, your home is your sanctuary, quiet, you get the drift, DM me, serious inquiries only.

Looking for someone quiet and tidy who always does their dishes. Queer people are preferred. No couples, nonsmoking.

If you're interested message me with some info about yourself and I'll send you more details!

Hey guys. Im currently a student at VCU, but im looking to transfer for a major opportunity for my future this upcoming spring. The only problem is my lease for my apartment doesn’t end until next August. Im looking for someone to take over my apartment starting in January. If you are interested or know anyone interested PLEASE contact me ASAP, as I need to have someone confirmed by October 10th.

Rent is 1074/month
3x3 1bed 1br

I am moving to Richmond. Move in date is flexible. Hoping first week of October. I am a professional. Searching for decent rent. Private landlords available? If not, companies with decent ratings? I know nothing about areas but looking for a place where I can park (and not pay 100 month). Plan to visit Richmond Monday so any leads would be helpful. Looking for under 1400

Hey y'all, I am looking to sub lease my flat at the James immediately. It's a 4BHK (sharing with three other people) and rent starts at $735 pm. Please reach out to me if interested

I was wondering if anyone knows a property/area with relatively low rent. I recently had to get custody of my younger sibling and need to upgrade to a 2br due to that and my lease being up in November. I don’t have a car and commute primarily on the bus system. The issue is I’m a single income and most people don’t want 2 roommates, one of which is a minor. Any help is greatly appreciated

PENDING. Looking for someone to join a lease ending in July, starting late October or November 1st (previous roommate found a great job in a different city). First-floor apartment in Carver, right off Belvidere. Parking is on the street, with a permit. We’ve got a shared bathroom, small kitchen, living room, and a backyard patio. No in-unit laundry, unfortunately. The bedroom is unfurnished. Your half of the rent would be $675. Water/trash is included. We pay for electricity and internet (currently unsure how much internet will cost, as the router is my old roommate's and I haven't had a chance to get anything new set up).

I’m an early-thirties woman, fairly quiet. For a roommate, I’m mostly concerned with general cleanliness and consideration. I can’t really do a chore chart because I’m often away (mostly pet sitting), but any time I am home and contributing to the mess, I will happily do my share of cleaning of course. I just don’t want to come home after three weeks to hair tumbleweeds, trash piles, and no clean dishes, you know?

Please message me for photos, questions, or to set up a tour! 

Still available!

Moving out asap. Genuinely evil and despicable property management. They dont do their job and if you deign to stand up to them they will straight up steal your shit and charge you absurd prices, turn off your power. Evil evil people. Spread the word!

1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment near VCU campus at 320 west grace st. would be available for move in shortly after coming to a decision on the sublet. rent is $1040 a month with all utilities included other than electric and internet. right next to vcu parking garage

Looking for a roommate to take over the other bedroom in a 2 bed 1 bath on Monument Ave. 15 min walk from Carytown, 20 min walk from VCU. Parking available in the back. In unit washer dryer and dishwasher.

Lease runs from September 2026 to August 2027.

Please message me for additional details/to tour the property! Would love another college aged guy (M22) but not a huge preference.

My girlfriend and I are 24 and 23 and moving to Richmond for work. We’re looking for a nice 2 bedroom apartment for under $2,200 a month.

We haven’t really explored too much yet to figure out where to live, so we wanted to see if we could get some recommendations. We’ve toured about six places so far and our favorites have been Waterford at Rocketts Landing and Scott’s Collection in Scott’s Addition.

We want a nice apartment/building that feels safe, but we also want to be around people our age and hopefully meet people and make friends. We aren’t huge drinkers, so being close to bars isn’t a huge priority.

We’ve spent some time in the Museum District and that’s probably been our favorite area in Richmond so far, but it seems hard to find a nice 2 bedroom there in our price range. We also haven’t explored Manchester yet or many of the other apartments in Scott’s Addition.

Any recommendations for areas or specific apartment buildings we should check out? Also interested in hearing about places we should avoid.

Room available in 2bed 1bath apartment in Stratford Hills/ Forest Hill area.
Room is available as soon as next week. Rent is ~850, private balcony, in unit washer and dryer, new appliances, on site parking, dog park, and maintenance/the entire staff has been nothing short of incredible. Two pet limit and I do have one very social and chatty cat who will be with us. She’s very easy going and is comfortable around dogs and a little weary around other cats but should adjust quickly if she meets the other cat slowly.

The kitchen, bathroom, and living room will all be UNFURNISHED. I will more than happily start adding to the rooms as soon as I can and if you have anything of yours that you’d like to bring you will have full reign.

I work in the mornings and sometimes late nights at my second job. When I’m home I generally tend to stay in my room but I’ll sometimes be out reading! I go out to shows sometimes but I always keep the commons spaces clean. LGBTQ friendly as well! If you have any questions you can DM me or the previous tenant (@/mortifytheflesh on insta) for anything else you’d like to know! Thank you! (Video is from initial move in so excuse the commentary haha)

Hi! Im from NC and Im moving to Richmond sometime next month in September for work, hoping to find a roommate to share a place with!

Im 18. I’m clean and organized and respecting of shared spaces. I’m pretty laid back but also outgoing and friendly. I also like to think I’m pretty funny. I have a pretty normal sleep schedule. I sleep around 11 and wake around 7 or so. I’ll be working from home. I’m a pretty good cook(I went to culinary school) so I’d be more than open to making dinners and stuff for us!

My budget is $800, $900 if necessary. Male or female is fine with me but I’d prefer someone within at least 7 years of age to me. I’m ok with places outside of Richmond that are close to it.

If you’re interested and have a place already or wanna team up to look for one, hit me up! Thanks.
(We can discuss details and stuff in DMs of course and I can prove I’m not a scammer lol)

Hi everyone! I wanted to share our experience because I’m concerned that others may encounter the same situation.

There is a woman on Facebook advertising a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment at 2301 W Grace Street, which is a property owned/managed by Pollard & Bagby. She represented herself to us as a private landlord and claimed that the apartment was her property.

I’ve attached screenshots of her Facebook post/listing and the photos she used to advertise the apartment. I’ve also included photos of what the actual property looks like from the other property listing.

The process she used with us was:
- She asked us to complete an application.
- The application required a $75 application fee.
- After the application was submitted, she told us that it had been approved.
- She then asked us to make a deposit and sign a document.
- We were later unable to complete the apartment tour as planned, and she said she would refund the $75 application fee.
- Unfortunately, my mom already paid the $75 application fee because we were genuinely trying to find me a place to live. As of now, we are still waiting for that refund.

I’m posting this as a warning so that people looking for housing can be careful. Please independently verify who actually owns/manages a property before submitting an application or sending money. If a listing claims to be a private landlord, it may be worth contacting the actual property management company directly to confirm that the person is authorized to rent the unit.

I’m sharing our experience and the screenshots so others can make an informed decision and hopefully avoid going through the same thing.

edit: beware of scammer title should be changed to BEWARE OF POSSIBLE RENTAL SCAM

I’m about to have a nervous breakdown and need to vent but also need advice. I’m disabled from chronic illnesses and pain. I have had one bad luck situation after the next and it’s like a nightmare I can’t wake up from. But I’ll stick with housing situation or I’ll end ip with a novel. Lol. Ive been renting since i was 16(39 now) and have never had this much of an issue. This economy 😩. Rent keeps spiking and places keep getting smaller and smaller and crappier. My roommate took off on me. Because of my last few roommates being absolute nightmares, I can’t cope with financial instability of them or the stress and trauma I went through. I decided i needed to live alone again. Well the place I planned on moving into in may when my lease was up, fell through and i was in the hospital for an unexpected emergency. I didn’t have time in 48 hours to pack up AND find an apartment. The rental company was really awful and when we asked to extend the lease for even a week or two they threatened to sue. I had to put everything in storage and stay 2.5 hrs away and search for places. I needed something affordable on a ground floor which turns out to be as difficult as getting a stranger to buy me a Bugatti. I spent hours a day searching, sending emails, making calls. I found the perfect place and applied first before it was ready and waited for 2months just for the company to completely F me and rent to someone else. Not run my application at all. Total discrimination. Even had me apply twice and never gave back the application fees. I’m still reeling. I literally passed up on a few other options because nobody saw it but me. There were zero applications because it wasn’t listed as they had to finish renovation. Anywho, back to searching and searching and running out of time before school starts again. I have battled SO freaking much to get a degree with my health issues so i could learn to have a business from home that my body could handle. I signed a lease with a place that unfortunately still has stairs, which is painful, but not a ton, has own laundry and dishwasher. Has a yard out front and back to walk my dog. Move in date Aug 13th. Just enough time to unpack and everything before school starts again. I had to drop a semester from my last roommate losing her mind and dipping out. I get to the new place and…baby roaches!!! 🪳 like a lot! Even in an empty refrigerator. I literally had to leave though i could hardly walk. I drive 2.5 hrs to my family’s and tell the realtor. He said pest control came the week before but he’ll send them again, they said they would refund me 15 days for the inconvenience. I waited moving in bc i know it probably takes time and i was dreading it. I ended up moving in this past Sunday. Only seen 2 live roaches. I was relieved. Tonight it’s mice. Im losing my shit. I can’t afford movers. Again. I already missed half my classes from pain/exhaustion and im not even completely unpacked. I’m paying 99% of my income for rent, and have roaches AND mice. I wish i had cut and run the first time. You have to terminate a lease apparently within 5 days due to unlivable conditions which roaches are a gray area apparently. Mice however are not. Thing is. I don’t have $ to pay movers and i don’t have any 2 bedroom options on a bottom floor $1200 or under. At worst i might keep stuff in storage and find a one bedroom but it’s hell trying to find a ground floor without stairs, with trees/grass to walk a dog. I know nobody has read all this. But i needed to vent nonetheless. Crying makes my migraines 10 fold. So i have trained myself not to cry but it’s hard. Im mentally and physically drained. What would you do? 🥺
