I called on a rental property I saw on Craigslist. I am building a new home and sold my old one so I only needed a rental from May to August. When I spoke with Brenda she said she wasn't sure if the owners were willing to do short term for us but that she would check with them and also look into some other options for us. I was running out of time and all the rentals I found either wouldn't do short term, or had a problem with our dog, or wanted to raise the rent so high that we were essentially paying a full year's worth of rent in 4 months. The weeks leading up to when I spoke with Brenda I had contacted numerous agents from different rental agencies and they all said the same thing as Brenda "I'll look into it and get back to you in a couple days," except none of them actually called. Brenda called after a few days and said the owners of the property were willing to do a short term lease, and didn't raise the rent on us. We have moved in and are enjoying every minute at our new place. The owners are very easy to work with, as well as the other people that live on the property. I couldn't have asked for more. They didn't have to go out of their way to help us out but they did.
