Even the corporate side has started advertising rentals on craigslist. Please keep an eye on the average dollar per square foot. Say its $1/per sq ft in your area. If you see a place at $.50/per sq ft it's a scam or something you don't want to touch. Do not even contact the person.

Also google "apartments in my area" and use that as a reference point. Even those without their own sites often show up.
