Honestly, every single listing on Craigslist is fake now. Nobody is buying or selling anything there, it's all scammers.

The last two rooms I rented I got from there. Those were in 2020 and 2022.

edit: well I guess things have changed in the last year and a half, or maybe it's just a bad day because I applied to literally every single house and room under $2k/mo and got nothing but people trying to make me fall for the "use this sketchy ass credit report website it's totally a refundable charge ;)" scam. I'm continuing my search on Zillow.

agony-shivering Zillow also charges a fee. It's fees all the way down!
