I have had good landlords and heard great stories about people who became long term tenants because they loved their landlords so much. There is a home for you out there, you may have to go through a few bad experiences to find it, but each one gets you closer to your ideal. Educate yourself about rental scams and keep trying.
New Orleans wants you here. Finding homes to rent on Craigslist is a gamble that could pay off but that site is a breeding ground for scammers who search other rental property sites like Zillow for pictures and addresses so that they can repost them on Craigslist with a lower price.
Always google the address of the home you are trying to rent to see if it comes up on other rental property sites and is listed by a different person with a higher price. If the price is too low and the place is really well maintained it is probably a scam. Searching for homes on Facebook Marketplace is a great idea. I have found my favorite apartment through there once and it was perfect for me. But, Facebook Marketplace is not regulated and anyone can post an ad for a home.
Usually scammers will list the home at an extremely low price point even though the home is newly built or renovated. In their listing they will usually use the words β All Utilities included or Pets are allowed if they are not destructive. It is much easier to develop a relationship with a landlord who lives in town.
Scam Landlords who try to rent the property while they are out of town will typically ask for your email address to send photos and an address for the property and then tell you that you can drive by but you cannot go in to see inside because they are out of town and insert sob story about being sick or caring for a sick relative. They will ask you to send them the deposit and they will mail you the key.
