Have you actually been to the apartment IN PERSON?!
Have you actually MET this guy IN PERSON?!

OR is this all over the internet with pics and all?

If yes to above than I would stay clearly away! If you have not seen the place in person (most important) inside, outside, everything and you have not met your potential roommate in person than IT IS A SCAM!!!!!

Good to know that in your mind its impossible for people out of state to move. Honestly, it wouldnt be reasonable to ask the guy to hold it for an extra week or two, just so I can go out there and see it. Its not worth his time, and its not as much worth my money.

I have a friend in West Hollywood that is going to check out the area and such today.

Thanks guys

He didn't say it was impossible, just that you should check it out in person ahead of time.

Frankly, that's the wisest course, and I hope it works out for you.

I'm dying to know what happened in the latest episode of "Jer3784's Perilous Apartment Search." (I'm just kidding with you, Jer. Did you ever make it out here?)

The previous tenant only lasted a week. Older guy wants to share apartment with younger guy. Hmmm! That makes my antenna go up and red flags start to wave.
