I am a single "adult" woman. Over 50. I discovered to NEVER, EVER RENT FROM A SINGLE MALE.
My one experience was horrendous. The 28 yr old host was subletting a room when was subletting THE ONE BEDROOM APT. He slept on couch. NO amenities, joint bathroom with HIM and used sheets. Obviously disappointed when I arrived as an older woman, not a cute chick. His response to my inquiry. ( Sweet Alston! No problem. Swing on by (no pun intended) red light warning.
The creep is still renting a room. GIAN MICHAEL IN SALINAS, CA. I've since rented from women and couples with no problems..
