Bay Area houses for rent under $1000? What’s the catch?

I’m looking to move to a new apartment on craigslist and see there a couple houses, mostly 2 bedroom 1 bathroom, where monthly rent is about $1000, sometimes a little less. How is that possible and what’s the catch? That’s cheaper than even some shithole studios. Are there additional hidden fees?

Many of them are scams and some of them are manufactured homes.

Some manufactured homes command more than that.

You’d need to be below a certain TC level to qualify for such housing. Which reminds me - TC ?

90k. I’m fucking poor, which is why I’m looking for cheap housing. I also need to gtfo my current place ASAP so I’ll take anything as long as it’s pet friendly too.

Pet friendly too? Sorry, it doesn’t exist.

Shared toilets. I saw a few in Seattle - no kitchen, no toilets, 300 sqft studio for 800 Dolla.

Dude - if it’s East Palo Alto, just stay sway. Plus what Salesforce and others said

You may be mistaking for a shared bedroom or student only homes. Post the Craigslist link to the least and we could know what the heck you are talking about.

They’re scams. They’ll ask you to send a deposit, without seeing the inside, or some other scammy crap. If it’s too good to be true...
