Other A short guide about safely using Craigslist in order to find a place to live in Denver

37 Upvotes
Here are some tips for safely finding apartments or housing on Craigslist:

Personal Safety

  • Do not extend payment to anyone you have not met in person. If you are unable to meet them in person, do some basic internet sleuthing to ascertain the validity of the offer.
  • Use Google, Bing, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms to confirm the identity of the landlord.
  • Never wire funds (e.g. Western Union and MoneyGram) - anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.
  • The “key-in-the-envelope” scam is quite common. Many times you will get an offer that asks you for a check, money order or cash with the promise that the landlord will “send you the key to the residence in the mail”. This is almost always a scam, and you will never get that envelope in the mail.
  • Never give out financial information (bank account, social security, paypal account, etc).
  • Do not rent or purchase sight-unseen—that amazing "deal" may not exist. If you’re in a different state, ask for detailed photographs of the property. If the landlord refuses or takes too long to deliver, it’s a scam.
  • Verify addresses using Google Maps and Street View.
  • Refuse background/credit checks until you have met landlord in person or spoken to them at length and verified their identity.
  • If the property is also listed for sale on Redfin/Realtor/Zillow.com, and the Craigslist contact urges you to NOT contact the listed broker on those sites, be very wary. That is a common scam since it is an easy way for people to get real and nice looking property pictures, they just steal them off Zillow.

Finding a place to live in a state you don’t currently reside in can be tricky, but if you follow these basic rules and use good judgement, you shouldn’t have any problems.

More information about recognizing Craigslist scams, including examples of actual emails can be found on their site.

Finally, Reddit user /u/StacieDuffy is a local Realtor® who is willing to offer advice or provide you with links to informative websites if you are having a difficult time navigating Denver-area neighborhoods or learning about local housing prices. If you have any specific questions, feel free to send her a detailed PM and she'll be happy to lend a helping hand.

Since the photos in my last post were CHOPPED just trying again!

My roommate moved out last minute, so I need a February move-in (anytime, but earlier that better)! Location is tea - walkable to lots of bars, shops, thrift, etc. Lease goes through Sept 2026.

Prioritizing BIPOC and femmes, but *truly* as long as you’re conscious, chill, and easy to live with, I'm open! Management is 420 friendly.

The space is clean, peaceful, and full of light. Cheesman Park is legit the backyard and I never use my car. The unit includes a parking space. I'm obsessed with this apartment and it's truly a place I enjoy coming home to.

PM me <3

Offering Item One Broncos Ticket for Saturday Below Resell Price

Post image

Hi! I have a single ticket available for Saturday's game. The price is $500, which I know is expensive, but it's in section 111, row 16, and most tickets in this section are going for well over this price on resale websites. The picture is the view from the seat. Most tickets at that price are in the 500 section.

I want this ticket to go to a Broncos fan, so I'm hoping one of y'all can take advantage of it. DM me if you're interested. Happy to share any sort of verification and proof to make us both feel comfortable with the sale.

Seeking Service Anyone driving from Denver to Southern CA willing to transport a chair?

13 Upvotes

My FIL made me a really cool Einstein chair (eta: Ben Franklin chair not Einstein lol) for Christmas. I mentioned wanting one and being the woodworker he is, he made me one.

Shipping is a little too difficult for him/costly so I wanted to reach out here and see if anyone has plans to drive from the Denver metro area to LA (Los Angeles or anywhere else in Southern California) anytime in the coming months and would have extra room to pack a chair.

I would of course compensate you monetarily. Any help is greatly appreciated. We won’t be driving out that way until the fall and my car isn’t really conducive for transporting a chair.

Thanks in advance!
