"I was moving and needed a place to rent. I came across a listing for a very nice house on CL for a very reasonable rent. I sent an email and the answer I got back was that he was renting the house because the tenants in the house weren't 'god-fearing' and he was looking for a nice person to replace them but he wasn't going to make them move out until he found the right person. I could drive by to take a look if I wanted to but I couldn't go inside. I found the house for sale on Redfin and it was pending. My first clue - OK, my second - was that the owner was an Ivy educated lawyer who couldn't write proper English!" - LanceL [What You Need To Know About Renting In San Francisco: Craigslist Edition] Ed. note: We hear stories like this from readers all the time, and have come across scammers like this in our own quest for shelter.
