I moved to Richmond in 2008 to become a member of the faculty of VCU. My wife Jeanine and I found a house on craigslist (821 W. 30th St., Richmond, VA 23225) to rent while we learned about Richmond neighborhoods and to save up for a down payment on a house of our own. Terry and Patti Shulman were the landlords. This blog is about our experiences, what happened to us, and our quest to get our deposit back.

Move-In Inspection, II
If you rent, make sure you get a move-in inspection. In Virginia it's the law. Terry and Patti Shulman did not do a move-in inspection at 821 W. 30th St. We were naive, didn't request one, and got burned. As the email in the last post indicates, I wasn't the only renter there to get burned by the Shulmans. I warned the new tenants to get a move-in inspection when they moved in. I hope they got one! Here's another link to a move-in inspection form.
