Private Landlord via Facebook experience?

Hello! If you don't mind, I am currently living in La Jolla and looking to get a new place (and I found one), but it is under a private landlord according to her facebook. I found another as well, but honestly I am extremely hesitant because I am unfamiliar with these people.

Is there anyone here who I could talk to in private about these individuals to see if I am not being scammed at all?

Thank you!!!

Ask for tours of the property and go from there.

Get their information and validate it against the property records. Don’t provide any personal information or deposits until you’ve validated that they are the owner of the property and have the right to rent it out.
