How to find them
- Filter to no-fee, by-owner places and sort by newest.
- Rooms and sublets are almost always owner-posted (no fee).
- Contact the owner on the original post; never pay before touring.
Avoiding scams
Be wary of prices far below the local median, requests to wire money or pay a deposit before seeing the place, and listings that push you off-platform. NoFeeNest flags obvious scams, but always verify in person.
