Scam.
Many don't include their Ph # or email address in Craigslist ads due to fear of being scammed or bothered.
You can often reply to their anonymous Craigslist email address with your own anonymous email.
You may go by the house and take a look at it, there is nothing wrong with this. While there at the house, you might do a little investigation and speak with some of the neighbors as to if they know who own the property and if the property is for rent.
Find out as much about this house and the person that own it as possible, while there.
It might be a good idea to call the number you have to see if they are in fact the ones renting the house.
Web sites might be a good place to find an apartment or house to rent, if you want to go through the entire list to find one in your state and then city.
The best place to look for places to rent is to go to the yellow pages of your telephone book, look under property managers.
You might also Google Property managers in whatever city or community you want to live in and see what comes up
These individuals list properties for rent in certain areas, so make sure you select the areas in which you wish to rent.
Call several of the property managers listed there, tell them you want a list of properties that they have for rent. Some will fax, email or mail the list of local places to rent along with the address, number of bedrooms and bath rooms, amenities available, such as washer and dryers or gyms, the monthly rental of the unit. Most will include a rental application. These list will include the monthly rental required, if a lease or month to month agreement will be signed. They will also indicate if they will accept Section 8 vouchers. They will also indicate it they have disabled access, allow pets and if so the type allowed.
They might indicate a web site that you might visit to get their list of places to rent. In most instances you would be able to see a visual picture of the rental that are offered for rent.
It does not cost to get a rental list from a reputable property manager. Some will require you to stop by their office and pick up the list. A lot of them post their list outside of their office, so the list are available 24/7 365.
Make sure you don't fall for the scams and purchase a list as 70%-80% of these list are composed of free list they have compiled. They are not the property managers of any property in most instances.
Again do not pay for this information as it is free from reputable property managers.
You might consider obtaining a crime report from the city in which you would want to reside.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.
"FIGHT ON"
Address of property but no way to contact, ie. email response link, phone number or text etc? This is not the way a legit rental is handled. Take this as a sign that even if you could find a person to contact the entire rental experience would be flaky for you. Could also be a boyfriend/girlfriend or ex put up the ad to harass the resident. I would not pursue it.
Already disconnected - no names and numbers in advert ----- SCAM.
I SHOUT SCAM
