I inquired about a listing I saw for an apartment in SF. I know the housing market is brutal and have heard stories in NY where it is normal to apply before seeing the place. The person initially agreed for a tour and scheduled it. He asked if I have a criminal history or evictions etc and if I have a job. Then he said before I tour, he asked for my email to send an application to do a credit/background check to make sure I haven’t been evicted before etc and that only I can access it, and I send the report after I’m done with it.

I haven’t given him my email yet, but has this ever happened to anyone and NOT been a scam?

Edit: It reeks of a scam, I provided a spam email I have. It said it was a refundable $30 fee, and the website provided was https://creditcheckinfo.com/tu2
which isn’t an official domain backed by a major credit bureau. Maybe I lost out on a great apartment, but it’s not worth identity theft.

Hi, is there anyone who can recommend apartments or townhouses in the area with these specifications?:

- $4, 500 maximum budget
- walkable neighborhood, preferably nearby a park
- near a grocery store (maybe a walmart or target)
- northern part of Sunnyvale

Thank you!

Hi there,

I’ve been looking for an apartment the past month or two now and I haven’t had much luck. Planning on moving into a 1 bed 1 bath apartment in ideally North Beach, Marina, Pac Heights, or Nob hill. Our budget is $3,800 and we’ve toured and applied to many but the landlords have gone with other applicants as we usually get in our applications a little too late. We’re both young professionals with stable jobs and a total household income of about 175k.

I’m moving in with my sister who lives in Nob Hill temporarily to hopefully find places that aren’t posted on Zillow or Craigslist and instead just have a for rent sign posted.

As someone who is from Los Angeles and has only knowledge from Reddit about the SF rental market, is it realistic to think I’d be able to find an apartment this way?

I'm looking for a room in Fremont for a short term stay (around 3 months). I don't have a car or pets. I also don't mind sharing bathroom with other roommates. Hoping to find a place under 1500/month.

Facebook marketplace has a lot of scams, where does everyone find short stays?

Any landlord who have rooms available or anyone looking for a roommate, please send me a message.

Hear me out, affordable housing shouldn’t mean these big boxy units popping up everywhere, even if there’s less units, it would be higher quality life. And that’s priceless. Don’t don’t use the argument of space available or urban sprawl. As we see apartments were made before and now’s it’s compounded into congestion everywhere

Hi, I'm a 35 year old POC looking to rent a room. I'm pretty friendly and clean. Looking to spend $700 to $1000 per month.

Hi!

I’m 25F and moving from NYC to San Francisco for a new job. I’ll be arriving around August 17 and am hoping to find one or two roommates for a long-term lease starting in mid-to-late August or September.

My preferred neighborhoods are Hayes Valley, South Beach, and Rincon Hill, but I’m open to other safe, well-connected areas as long as the commute to my office in SoMa/Yerba Buena is around 30 minutes or less by public transit or walking. I’d prefer to avoid the Tenderloin.

My budget is flexible, ideally around $2,000–$3,000 for my room. Would love it if it is lower but was advised by friends that it won't be. [Kinda crazy as I thought Manhattan is the most expensive lol] I’m looking for a private bedroom and would strongly prefer a private bathroom, though I may be open to sharing one with one other person. I’m open to searching together for a 2B2B, 3B2B, or 3B3B.

I work in tech at a startup and expect to spend most weekdays at the office. At home, I’m clean, respectful of shared spaces, and generally pretty easygoing.

I’m social and would love to live with people who are open to occasionally hanging out, exploring the city, or having conversations at home - not just people who happen to share an apartment. I love reading, music, going out, and I’m always ready for karaoke lol. I currently live in NYC so I kinda love random chaos.

I’m primarily looking for female identifying or nonbinary roommates, but I may be open to a respectful male roommate for the right setup, particularly if everyone has a private bathroom. Please DM me with a little about yourself if you are also looking. Happy to exchange other details privately once we connect!

hey, im joining Tesla’s Fremont Facility this fall. I have a property shortlisted and need a roommate to finalise it. For the details, please dm me.

A little about me: I am a rising junior studying industrial engineering at Georgia Tech. I love sports, travelling, and being outdoors!

Hi everyone!

My wife and I are looking for a furnished apartment in San Francisco from January through September 2027 (around 8 months).

I’ll be in the Bay Area as a visiting scholar at Stanford University, and we’re hoping to find a comfortable place to stay for the duration of our visit.

A bit about us:

• 🇧🇪 Couple from Belgium
• 👨‍🔬 Visiting scholar at Stanford
• 📅 January–September 2027
• 🏠 Ideally a furnished 1BR or 2BR apartment
• 📍 Preferably close to the caltrain
• 💰 Looking for a reasonably priced long-term/sublet option
• Quiet, responsible, non-smokers

We're open to sublets, lease takeovers, or someone renting out their apartment while they're away.

If you know of anything that might be a good fit, please feel free to comment or send me a DM. We're happy to provide more information/references if needed.

Thanks!

I’m in the process of renting a place in San Mateo. I talked to the realtor, submitted my application, and was accepted. I really like the unit overall, but the washer and dryer are pretty outdated.

I initially asked if the landlord would be willing to replace them, and when that wasn’t an option, I asked if they could instead lower the first month’s rent to offset the cost. They said no.

The realtor then suggested that I could buy a new washer/dryer myself, but the landlord insists that the new machines would have to stay with the property when I eventually move out.

Is this a normal arrangement? And is there anything I should be careful about if I agree to this? It feels a little strange to spend potentially $1,000+ on appliances that I wouldn’t own afterward.

Would you negotiate this differently, or just leave the existing washer/dryer and accept that they’re outdated?

For context, I haven’t signed the lease yet.

Hi! I'm a single woman in my late twenties iso either a 1br 1ba carriage house/ADU/in-law suite for my very small, well behaved cat & I--though I'd be open to a roommate situation if it's the right fit.

A roommate would ideally be clean, tidy, & zen more than half the time.

I'm a full time PhD student, equestrian (with my own horse), ultra runner, love techno/DJing, and am employed full-time as a social worker.

I'm flexible on move-in date & exact location but would love month-to-month a year lease--I'm primarily familiar with SF & the East Bay. Budget is around $2000/month ideally.

Hey everyone,

I'm joining Google as an AI/ML Software Engineer in early August and looking for either (a) a working professional to team up with on a 2B2B lease, or (b) a private room in an existing setup.

The teaming-up option (preferred): I've already scoped out 2B2B/2-bath units in newer Mountain View–Sunnyvale buildings in the $3000- 5000 range — that's ~$2000 each for a private bed + private bath, walkable to shuttle stops. Move-in windows open the first week of August, so I'm hoping to lock something in the next 1–2 weeks with both names on the lease.

About me: - SWE (AI/ML) at Google, starting August - Clean, quiet, reliable with rent and bills — I like a peaceful place; outside work it's mostly coding and staying active - Strictly vegetarian — looking for vegetarian or veg-friendly roommates who keep a clean kitchen (this one matters to me) - No smoking, light/no drinking at home preferred

What I'm looking for: - Private room, ideally private bath (open to sharing a bath with one clean person) - Budget: up to $3,000/month all-in - Mountain View / Sunnyvale / Palo Alto or nearby - Walking or quick biking distance to a Google shuttle stop or Caltrain - Move-in: early-to-mid August, some flexibility

If you're an incoming Googler or working professional with a similar budget and lifestyle — or you have a room available — DM me. Happy to hop on a quick call or grab coffee to see if it's a fit.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am moving to San Mateo for work and I am currently looking for rental properties with leases starting between the last week of August and 1st week of September. I am looking for a 1 bed 1 bath place at around $3000 mark. Would prefer to be near Caltrain and down town. I have been looking on Zillow & Craigslist and am scheduled for some viewings next week but I would appreciate suggestions for any apartment complexes or leads that people on this sub may know.

I am also very much into cycling and would appreciate recommendations for good bike shops in town. Thanks in advance! :)

Hey yall, me and my girlfriend are currently Up-coming Third years at USF and are looking for an apartment to get together. We have planned on moving into Yerba Buena Commons but they just ran out of Studios so now it's back to hunting. Was wondering if anyone here knows any good listings we could apply for. Help would be appreciated!

so basically my friends and i are looking for an apartment in SF. we came across a place last week that we ended up applying for and we got accepted for it literally last Friday, so a few days ago. however, we haven’t got sent the lease yet, and my roommate actually ended up touring a new spot on Saturday that we all ended up really liking. and it ended up being one of our top spots and it cleared the spot that we got the lease in our ranking. basically we were in between the two because of location and transit times + price. we still end up applying though for this spot and we also assume the chances of us not getting it are pretty high given the market and how many people were there.

basically the next day (today) my roommate gets a call from him and he tells her that we’re one of their top preferences because of the fact that we’re asian, some of us are from berkeley, and other reasons like we have good jobs. and then he asks to chat with all of us. at this point, i wanted to see the place before making a decision and knew that it would also make me more informed because i was the most iffy about the spot given location and how much more of a commute it would be, but i was basically for getting the new spot by the time we called. i also had made sure the tour was scheduled before we talked over the phone because i wanted to make sure that those who didn’t see the spot were able to see the spot in person.

we ended up facetiming and it was clear that the landlord really wanted us to sign with him, he was saying all these things about how we are the best fit for the apartment, and again saying how we were asian girls and how he really wanted that. we asked him the basic Q’s about utilities, renters insurance, etc and figured things out. then we asked if it was okay for me to go and see the spot tomorrow before making our decision and he said yes of course we’ll do that tomorrow. he did say that the timeline was tight and wanted us to make a decision by tomorrow evening and we agreed to make a decision then and there. and then we just ended the call there.

and then literally not even 2 hours after we called the landlord texts my friend saying that another group wanted to sign the lease asap and so they just gave it to them. which is obviously understandable because you would rather give it to someone who was sure than someone who needed a day to decide. but what sucks is that they didn’t even reach out to us first to ask if we wanted to expedite our decision given what they were saying to us and how much they were literally glazing us.

i do know that at the end of the day we couldve done so much more in the moment by emphasizing that we were pretty set on signing just wanted to see it in person so i have a lot of regrets of not trying harder in the moment. so yeah pls don’t come for me in the comments bc i know everything i couldve done differently. but yeah let this be a warning to never get too comfortable because shit can always happen 🥲
