So, I live in Williamsburg, in a condo. Dodson managed our HOA, when they sold to Evernest, everything went bad. Our maintenance guy didn’t get paid, etc. I’ve heard from others here that the same thing happened to them. The HOA finally switched to Brooks mgmt and things are back on track. Is Evernest some kind of criminal enterprise? Do they actually pay the bills anywhere?

I didn’t live there, but I did live with Dodson, who at one point were not letting my roommate and I move out because our lease rolled over to month to month and they were refusing to answer our calls and the manager hid in her office and pretended not to be there when we went in person.

They also threatened to sue us whenever we refused to pay rent they mistakenly doubled.

They also guaranteed us free parking until the city gave us hundreds of dollars in tickets and they tried to pretend they never offered parking until we dug up emails and threatened to take them to court.

Fuck Dodson. Fight the good fight folks.

I couldn't officially get a PCP at the VA... I had a doctor who saw me regularly, but my prescriptions and appointments were always messed up because the VA could never get my status switched from Hampton to Richmond... Filled out the paperwork 4 times and gave up.

The last time I was there for the entire afternoon and said fuck it and found a doctor in town

The owner of our apt just switched to Evernest from a different management company this past month. They haven’t contacted us once. I’ve called and e-mailed for three weeks straight asking how to pay rent, put in maintenance requests, etc—nothing but voicemail machines and crickets. Received a bill via e-mail this morning that said they took our rent out of our security deposits because we hadn’t paid. The hell?

The big rumble caught me off guard! I even went outside to see what all the hubub was about.

I love thunderstorms. At least I'll have more luck wishing for one of those than I would a good snow anymore.

I wish more people would fully know the law and how evictions work in virginia.

A property management company does not and can not evict you. A judge does within a hearing where you are in attendance as a defendant and have legal rights just as anyone in a court room to make your case and provide your side of the situation. The property management company must provide legal grounds to evict you and the judge provides a verdict within that trial based on legal evidence only

Being apart of an association such as this is not grounds to legally evict someone. Nor is many, many items of what the population thinks will get you evicted. The 2 main areas that will have you evicted in the court of law:

  1. breach of lease contact, and even then the property management must show proof that a lease violation contract was provided, signed, returned, and evidence that the concern was given at least 30 days to resolve, then proof the issue was not resolved. That lease violation contract must be a legal document under VA state law guidelines
  2. Non payment under lease terms and contract. Which goes back to #1

Examples of what will NOT evict you in a court of law

  1. Being rude, direct, or demanding to the PM as long as you are not legally harassing or threatening
  2. Standing up for yourself or others
  3. talking bad about a property management company and/or name dropping them on the rva subreddit
  4. Requiring that PM company or person fulfill their legally binding contract with you
  5. calling out PM for poor service or giving bad reviews publicly
  6. using tenant assertion legal process on a PM company
