whys it so fn hard to find a room to rent?

i have been replying to craigslist ads pretty much daily for months, i always tell them my name, tel them im friendly and neat and have a job. I get no replies except for the same "im from phillipines on business" scam telling me hell mail the keys and documents if i fill my personal info out. Fn annoying
i searched the internet for other places besides craigslist but cant find shit. Im so desperate to move out im losing my mind. Anyone have any tips or in similar situation. Better yet anyone from santa cruz hit me up if u have a room and want extra income think about renting it to me please. K peace

 

Have you looked into getting a studio or one bed apartment? Or any friends around?

 

ya i only have a budget for like 600 a month which isnt enough for that. And ye my friends dont have anything for me

 

Get to know a good friend at work and try getting him to move out and get a place with you.

 

I think its a bad idea to move in with someone you just met off craigslist.. Look at your friends living situations. do any of them have a spare bedroom ? ask them.

 

craigs list?...dude...rooms here are rarely advertised....people put a sign in the window or an ad up on a bulletin board of the grocery store....

..i would choose a neighborhood and then put up a small ad of your own right on a post
