I'm trying to rent a room out and have had a few bites on craigslist but no luck, I changed the ad many times, added photos, spelled out all the pertinent details. People just don't care, best case, they pick a time to show up and never do.
So here's my new and improved ad. I've already gotten 12 serious bites in 3 hours: $550 Room for rent August 1st, everything negotiable, no b.s., try me! (San Diego, Mira Mesa) Hey, I've got a room opening august 1st. House is 3 bedroom, 1 bath, yes 1 bath (so don't get here and then complain it's only 1 bath). You'd be sharing the place with me and another roommate, I'm 28 and the other guy is 30 or something. Both of us are clean and work or are otherwise not around much, so the place is pretty quiet. The neighborhood is decent and on a culdesac, so you don't get any lowlifes milling around here. I'm flexible on rent/lease, all I ask is that you give me 30 days notice before you move out. If $550 doesn't work for you, let me know your price. There's a deposit too because I don't like getting scammed, its rent +$100, but is also negotiable. There will be paperwork to sign (for your benefit and mine), this is not a monkey-business handshake agreement because I don't want to be on the next episode of Judge Judy with you. We don't discriminate round here, so email me with anything I need to know, including your baggage and excuses. I prefer a renter who is extremely wealthy, gives me free food and beer, adds a tip to the rent, and lets me drive their Ferrari on weekends, but I'll also consider people that actually exist. I honestly don't care if you're a gay drug dealer with tourette's syndrome that just escaped from jail and eats worms for breakfast. I'm mostly just interested that you can pay the rent reliably. You don't even have to be friendly or "chill", just don't annoy me or kill me in my sleep! I do have a few rules though, I'm not renting to anyone who has a travelling petting zoo (yes I know they're all house trained and never make noise, and all prisoners are innocent.) Don't waste my time or yours if you're looking to rent a 10x13' room to a family of 6 who wants to wash dishes in exchange for rent. I can wash my own dishes. If you can't afford it, you can camp out in the backyard with my roommate's dog for $10 a night or look for a place in Tijuana instead. Your turn. |

Wow, $550 for a room! Around here you can rent a nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath house for that.

Around here a 1 BR 1 bath rents for $700. Are you paying all the utilities or does the schmoe have to pay 1/3rd? How about cable/satelite and internet access? The next thing I was going to mention would have been really tasteless so I'll quit while I'm ahead.

SoCal ain't cheap I rented a 2br townhouse with a garage for $1,100, but that was up in the desert. A similar place down in the valley was $2,200 |

It is not that different here. We are well NW of Atlanta where things are cheap by comparison. In Atlanta our house, with 3 acres, would be worth a million of more. |
