FAQs

How to respond to Craigslist housing ad? ›

You can reply to any post on Craigslist — just click the "reply" button at the top left of a post, and complete the Captcha puzzle if you're asked to. Some Craigslist listings will offer a phone contact to call or text, though most listings will only offer an email contact.

Phantom rentals and hijacked ads are the two most common Craiglist rental scams. The property either doesn't exist or the scammer does not own it and has no right to rent it. In either case, they try to get you to send a deposit before you ever see the property.

“Thank you for your honest feedback on our apartment community. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.” “Thank you for letting us know about this issue. We value your response and are looking to resolve the issue, quickly and effectively.”

You can respond to a rental ad by writing your precise requirements - your budget, the area in which you're looking for a home, and the type (sharing/private) of accommodation you want. If you're comfortable enough, share your contact information too.

Mention specific things from the ad.

If they mention that the available room comes with a shared bathroom, mention how quick your showers are, or how spotless your current bathroom is! Show them that you read the ad carefully and thoroughly, and you know exactly what the living situation will be like.

How do buyers and sellers communicate on Craigslist? ›

Craigslist provides proxy email addresses to sellers, and it's a good idea to use them so browsers can't spam your actual email address. Once a potential buyer is truly interested, however, it's okay to switch communication to your cell phone; most buyers appreciate being able to text.
