I posted a request here for a rental. Got a lot of responses. Most referenced their posting on the 4 rent site. Now the problem was to know if the person actually owned the property. I could see how active the person was on this board and get an idea from his posts if he was real. Also checked the county records to see who was the owner of the property. Everything went very well. Also sent deposit check to his home in the Villages which I verified with the county records. Of course he could be in another part of the country but that would add a little doubt unless the postings indicated that he had two homes. One problem can be how do you get the key. The landlord used a key box on the door. Thus I could arrive anytime. Landlord also offered to meet me at the home if I had any questions. I would use the 4 rent site.
