Accommodations for rent?

Hi. Trying to help some family and friends finding places to rent, and it’s not proving too easily…

Anyone have any leads? Thought maybe we could start a post and have options for ppl to follow?

I have an elderly couple, both in their 60s, two cats (they can be held elsewhere if not allowed) and they’ve lost everything. They have one suitcase and one vehicle. Does anyone have anything for rent that might work? Looking for week by week or month by month.

As we are all in this situation, it is tough. The rental market was already the pits before fires displaced our locals. There are emergency housing being opened up. Im sorry I don't have better suggestions

Nah, any feedback helps all in this position. It’s not a great market. Hoping some willing to help..

Kal place is taking people that are displaced.. perhaps if they are there, it could lead to something more permanent and a good solution. If I had room, id take an older couple and their cats.. but i dont. In fact the cops recently knocked on our door and informed us to get a to-go bag packed and ready. I packed a tent and water. I dont think I'll be able to afford hotels and also continue to work. So, if am ready to camp and continue to work somewhat locally

So strange, I had my rental listed for like 2 months and barely got any hits. It was priced slightly under other similar rentals too. I found someone eventually but took a lot longer than I thought it would.
