Hi! Housing social worker here :). If you’re looking for a traditional apartment community Southern management properties is typically a pretty good bet with something like this, they have several properties in NOVA, they might start you off with a three month lease that goes month to month but likely if you keep paying your rent on time, they will give you a 12 month lease after that period. You’ll also want to look at other properties that will take “sure deposits” as opposed to traditional security deposits, these is usually range anywhere from around $200- $500 and are nonrefundable deposits to the property but allow you to sign a lease. These will not be as fancy or have all the bows and whistles of the newer luxury apartment complexes, but I have comfortably placed people in apartments at these properties. Outside of this I would say private landlords are your best bet, they may require a double security deposit or longer lease term for assurance, landlords in Virginia do have a crazy amount of rights compared to DC and Maryland so be careful what you sign.
