hi ! actually my hubby and i found a tenant through craig's list.i would definitely go that route again. the people we got were all very nice and i would have rented out our lower apt. to anyone of them. my neighbor actually suggested using it a few months back. we initially hung up a few flyers and put a sign on our front door but we really didn't the kind of people we wanted that way. the only thing we found with craig's list is that we had to update our post every few days b/c otherwise it would be considered "old" and people werent' as apt to look at it.

I use Craigslist for the same thing, and we have been so happy with it. It seems like overall we get much better applicants than we used to from the newspaper. It's wonderful. Plus it saves so much money and hassle. Our local paper had gone up to almost $70 a week for like 20 words near the end of the time we were advertising there. The rental market was down, so we'd get maybe 5 calls for that price. We were very relieved when craigslist took over and made it better.
