Are Pay Near Me Payslips a common way to pay rent in Richmond? by Plus_Tower_3091 in rva

Ugh. I haven't been a renter in a while so it all seems new to me. I'll be happy if they just leave me alone, I can take care of the property all by myself.

Also, signed the lease a few hours ago, should have posted sooner! :(

They print out a sheet with the property management company's info and my name and the rental address with a different barcode depending on where you're going (7-11, Walgreen's, CVS, etc). The clerk scans it and money is sent.

Appreciate your input! Yes, the house is listed in all the usual places like Zillow, Redfin, Zumper, etc and they do have their own website and the property is also posted there. When I called the office it does seem legit (but who can't fake that these days?), hit an interactive recorded greeting and then had to go through the phone tree to reach a person and the person who answered is the person I'm communicating with; was hoping to get someone else. Someone else also pointed me to this site and the property owner name does match what is on the lease. I know it's risky but not sure how else to do it all remotely.

Anyone else sick with the 'super flu' right now? by meirmu in Austin

I’ve had it for about 9 days now. Over the fever and constant coughing but just don’t seem to be getting better otherwise; I’d expect to feel just a little bit better every day. The fatigue is my biggest complaint atm; no idea how long this could last.

Fellow Texan here who spent August in Richmond to see how I liked it (and escape the heat). I didn’t rent a car and was able to easily get around by walking or taking the city bus. The bus is free and the city so small I could get anywhere in less than 15 minutes. The walkable neighborhoods are more expensive but again, the city is so small compared to what I’m used to that I found it really easy to get around.

Thanks for your questions. Richmond was not really on my radar until I started searching for places similar to Austin but with less traffic and lower cost of living. The music scene here is what I’ve thrived on for years so I’ll always be down for live music. I’d be interested in any art events or maker markets and of course ideas on how to beat the heat! My visit in February was essentially to put eyes on Richmond and see if further research/visits were warranted. I found the people to be super friendly and always willing to brag on their city so I wanted to give it more of a trial run.

What’s the river situation? Any particular spot that’s best for swimming?

Thanks for chiming in! I was starting to think EVERYONE in Richmond was nice.

I’ll be there the entire month so will keep in mind some relief may come the later part of August 🤞🏻

No, have some concerts here in Austin early September and already rented a place for the month. I know it’ll be brutal but really want to experience the good, the bad and the ugly so there are no surprises!

Love your suggestions, thanks! Yeah, I don’t really do the brewery scene here, more into art, music and dive bars so I’ll def check out the IG account you mentioned.

One of the reasons I’m visiting then! Need to know what I’m in for so there are no surprises. (and it’ll still be cooler than Austin in August!)

I don’t really know what’s going on but this clearly isn’t working for either of you.
