I was brought to this forum when I was doing a web search and found the following post in relation to apartments in Northern Virginia:
I just moved to Virginia (Fairfax) a short while ago and to my dismay my current complex has a no guns policy. No displaying, no discharging (duh), but most specifically, no possessing. I was starting to get kind of worried that every complex does this until I looked at the previous post and it mentioned something about "Arbor". Right now I've been asking around to see if anyone knew a complex in the area (Reston, Herndon, etc.) that did not ban guns in the contract. Even better if they did not ban display, but simply allowing possession would be great. Everybody I've asked tells me "just keep it to yourself and don't let anybody see", but what if somebody breaks in and I'm left defending myself legally and living out of my car? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I was all happy to be moving here and then I see this one part of the community rules that they only showed me at the last minute when I really needed a place to live. I'm flexible on rent, but I just really want to find a decent place that doesn't have this pesky rule in it.
I am aware that some apartments may prohibit leasers from having firearms, hence my search now rather than waiting till my current lease is up. My current location is ok with it, but since the management team has recently changed I want to keep my options open.
