Well, I have it on good authority that Rivers Edge deals harshly with creamer thieves. So if that’s a concern, you’d be in good hands.

In my opinion all leasing companies are bad (for society) but some are at least slightly less shitty. I would recommend redefine property management from my personal experience. They leave you alone, allow some reasonable leeway with some rules, and respond to maintenance requests. That’s all I can really ask for in a leasing company.

Management companies are just a reflection of what state laws let them get away. Best case, they will do the bare minimum (but usually below that because enforcement is basically nonexistent)

find an independent landlord. They can be just as bad, but I can also be really good.

I think the only independent apartment is the brick building on forest hill between the park and little nickel

I've had great luck with Grubb, which owns Link Apartments Manchester. Was really hoping to avoid a property management company when I moved to Richmond in 2019, but ended up here and they have been wonderful--they really care about the building.

Gates Hudson. However I only know them from 1 property. Others May have other experiences on properties they manage.

I second them, however my experience was just in the First National building, and that was five years ago. Not sure how things have been going there since.

They are still top notch there, direct from a current tenant comment, to this day. They also continue to have tenants of 5+ years. Several at 10 years now.

As someone’s whose rented forever here, I’ve had good experiences with Thalhimer, not cheap but at least responsive and up to date on fixing things in my experience. Avoid RVA group like the plague. Independent landlords the way to go though.
