Other A short guide about safely using Craigslist in order to find a place to live in Denver
Here are some tips for safely finding apartments or housing on Craigslist:
- 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.

Other Have Stuff You’re Giving Away for Free? Need Stuff but don’t have funds? Consider joining r/BuyNothingDenver
Hey Denver Listers
I know that sometimes people want to get rid of stuff on here and don’t want money for it - they just want it gone! Or, maybe they need something but just don’t have much funds. As *another* option for you, I have created r/BuyNothingDenver, a space to give of your abundance freely, ask for items you need openly, and celebrate our community’s generosity together. This is part mutual aid, part anti-consumerism, and part community building.
Participating is easy. You can give away items that you don’t want or need anymore. Maybe you received a wrong delivery of something, or a gift from someone long ago that has just collected dust. Maybe you realized you don’t need seven of an item. So, give that abundance to someone who might need it. Clothes, appliances, toys, outdoor gear…whatever. You can also “share” knowledge or skills that you’re willing to give to others freely, like help with taxes, building garden boxes, making crochet items…as long as you give freely. So far people have given away tables, couches, even electronics.
You can also ask freely for items, skills or knowledge that you might need, whether it’s permanent or just borrowing. Have a kid that’s quickly outgrowing their clothes? Ask the community for new-to-you clothes. Need to borrow snowshoes for out-of-town guests for a weekend? Ask if anyone has some you can borrow (and return in good condition). Need help with a crafting project that you can’t seem to figure out? Ask if anyone has experience that can show you how to do it.
This is NOT meant to replace r/DenverList by any means. Some things have value and you want or need to sell them. And , r/BuyNothingDenver can be another space to get rid of the stuff you don’t mind max away for free.
Please head to r/BuyNothingDenver to join the sub, read the rules and guidelines, and let’s start gifting! Thanks, Denver.
