Default Beware of Craigslist home rentals

Though I have in the past and still do currently bought and sold on Craigslist multiple times, in 2019 I was all set to rent a house in the Villages from a listing on Craigslist. I had the same fears as you. I set out to find out everything I could about the owners. I found the tax records, in turn, where they lived, and where they worked. I contacted the owners at their work. I had not been negotiating with the owners. BEWARE, do your research.
