Can you share some craigslist housing horror stories?

Well, a lot of times it's about unexpected living conditions. Like the house might have a serious pest problem that wasn't disclosed on craigslist. Also, some tenants have to deal with difficult co - tenants that they didn't know about before renting through craigslist.

Sure. There are cases where the plumbing in Section 8 housing is in a terrible state. Toilets keep getting clogged, and the sinks have a foul smell due to old and broken pipes. The landlords don't fix these problems promptly, and the tenants have to live with these disgusting conditions which can also lead to the spread of diseases.

Well, one story I heard was about a person who found a seemingly great apartment deal on Craigslist. But when they went to see it, the place was in a really bad neighborhood and the so - called landlord was super sketchy, asking for a large cash deposit right away and not providing any proper paperwork.

One horror story is about a person who found a seemingly great apartment deal on Craigslist. When they went to view it, the 'landlord' was really creepy. He kept asking inappropriate personal questions and made the person feel extremely uncomfortable. It turned out he was just trying to scam people into giving him deposits without any intention of renting the place.

I heard of a situation where a female rider booked a craigslist rideshare. The driver started making inappropriate comments towards her right from the start. He made her feel very uncomfortable, and when she asked him to stop, he just laughed. She had to get out of the car at the next stoplight, even though it was in an unsafe area. This shows that there can be safety and respect issues with craigslist rideshare.

One horror story could be about a person who thought they were renting a nice apartment through Craigslist. When they showed up to meet the 'landlord', it turned out to be a scammer who tried to take their deposit money and disappear. Another might be someone who met a so - called 'job recruiter' from a Craigslist ad, but it was a front for some illegal activity and they were put in a dangerous situation.

Sure. Buying a 'fixer - upper' house thinking it'll be a great investment can turn into a horror story. Middleclass families might find that the repairs cost far more than they expected. Hidden problems like mold, faulty wiring, or a crumbling foundation can eat up all their savings and then some.

One horror story is about a person who met someone on Craigslist for a hookup. When they got to the meeting place, the other person was extremely aggressive and tried to force them into doing things they didn't want. It was a terrifying situation.

There was a case where someone bought a used item from Craigslist. When they received it, it was broken in a way that was not disclosed in the ad. But when they tried to contact the seller to get a refund or exchange, the seller became very aggressive and started sending threatening messages. It was really scary as they didn't know what this person might do next.

There was this case where someone was looking for an apartment on Craigslist. They found a seemingly great deal. But when they went to see the place, the 'landlord' turned out to be really creepy. He started making really uncomfortable comments about how they would live together and tried to touch them. It was a horrible experience.
