Reply to comment by Dreambellah in I'm gonna rent a room but I'm worried that it's scam. I need your help and what you think by Bablaaa

I have been actually assaulted many times and agree . I think the red flag in this one is he only wants female roomates . That is why she should look at it with another person and see . He may not be the only one there.

I have lived with men I don’t know but usually with other roommates . Some being female . The female only part is what sounds the worst .

Well, a fire is more likely when you have no kitchen so everyone is the SRO uses hot plates and space heaters . Just because he is a man doesn’t automatically mean it will happen . It could but that is why women shouldn’t rent from people that say female only. Most of the websites don’t give you the option of gender of roommates so it is hard to to live with men .

Well, I thought it was just a man that was there since it sounds like in the post, the ad doesn't mention anyone else, and I feel like that would be included in the ad since this man would be inviting a female into both of their living spaces.

I'm so sorry that you were assaulted, I was just trying to prevent it. And yeah, thats why I said "possibly" he could be a predator, I didn't flat out call him one. Yeah, I guess fires could be more likely too. You're absolutely right
