Oh, and be weary of the tenant prospects that seem to tell you the same exact story: “I’m a family for orange county looking to rent a large SFH for my son/daughter and us while he/she/they attends UCSD…” craiglist.

Said family has no intention to relocate from OC to San Diego and really need to live with their son/daughter in a large SFH house while he/she/they attend UCSD.

In fact, in some cases, that “son/daughter” isn’t really a son/daughter. They are really a client of a rich overseas parent that paid that adult to find him/her room and board. And what they are looking to do is to find a SFH house to rent, and place that “son/daughter” (which really isn’t a son daughter( into that house, along with 5-6 other students they aren’t going to tell you about, and charge each student $1500/month or $7500/month while renting your house for lets say $4000-5500/month….and turn it into a student dorm without you knowing…

Why? Because that happened to a few of my friends too. If you’re interested in doing that student door arrangement for your SFH, you might as well advertise and do it yourself, and cut out the middleman/woman pretended to be the father/mother of the UCSD student.
