Last year my step son and his family rented a house off Cyberrentals in August. The house was very nice, much nicer than the one we rented and for less money. He was even considering renting from them again this year, but when it came time for the owner to return his deposit the check bounced. After several calls and emails that were unreturned he finally reached them at the beginning of October. He told her what happend and she apologized and promised to get a checkout for the deposit $200.00 plus the reimbursement for the bounced check right away. The new check came a few weeks later and that one bounced too. He is quite discouraged from renting from this site again. He has decided to give up the asking for the deposit, he says its not worth the aggravation. I on the other hand would have followed her to the end of the earth for my money.

Not sure what can be done renting off a website, but I see the house is back on the website.

We've always rented our houses for the past 15 years thru a real estate and have had no problems. Last year we went searching on our own to save money and dealt directly with the owner - not again.

Good luck with your search.
