Those rules are pretty strict! (I had not seen them previously). I just read this one: “Links of whatsoever nature, including non live links, unless to another part of this Board are not allowed, unless with express permission from the Administrators/Moderators. ”
I guess since links to such sites are the topic of this forum that we have such permission here?
Personally, I think links should be allowed as long as they are relevant to the conversation. But I guess it doesn’t matter what I think 😛
As for free classified sites like Loqou; I wouldn’t do it any other way! I always rent from individuals, not from companies.. it’s often a better value.. as long as you do your homework and make sure that it’s legit, it’s fine, I think. You just need to follow thesse rules: ALWAYS see the apartment in person before you make any deposit on it!! Always have a contract in hand (and read it thoroughly) before you make any payment!!
Also, to save yourself hassle, it’s always better to rent from someone who lives in the town you’re renting in.
Remember, there are lots of scammers out there on the Internet— so always be skeptical, whether it’s an individual or a company that you’re dealing with.
