So I think I'm just being paranoid, but me and my girlfriend found a 1 bedroom split house (a duplex?) for 700$, and the guy is really cool and stuff but the second time I met him he brought up paying the security deposit right then and there without us even discussing it at all prior. So now I'm freaking out thinking I'm gonna lose 1400$ and have nowhere to move at the end of the month. Am I crazy or was it just a misunderstanding?

Also, the HotPad link in the OP goes to hotpad, but that redirects to a cat selling site :confused:

So I just broke up and can't afford the place we had lined up by myself and therefore have 8 days to find like a bedroom in someone's house or something. I've been looking on craigslist (north of Chicago) but I haven't had much luck. Any ideas?

There are several colleges/universities in Chicago, yes? See if you can find websites catering to them specifically. You could also try padmapper & hotpads and see if anything comes up. Have you posted your own craigslist ad, too?

In Chicago, I'm north of it by 45 minutes. I was recently told of something called university housing, which is a bunch of people renting out a place with separate leases, but I can't find anything like that within 20 miles of where I am.

Thanks for the tip on posting an ad.
