<p>It's $20 for 3 months. Has anyone tried it? Would you recommend it? I just can't seem to utilize Craig's List too well.</p>

<p>The only useful ad I found on Cal Rentals happened to also be posted on Craigslist. So, in my experience, not worth it.</p>

<p>Cruising around the area you wish to live in either by car or on bike looking for For Rent signs is also good.</p>

<p>what's cal rentals?</p>

<p>No, I don't recommend it. Most landlords who would post there would almost certainly also post in craigslist: they know which sites have the highest activity. Also many places really only use craigslist...it's easy and free and is what most people use. Don't do it!</p>

<p>Thank you for all the responses!
Except you, 88888888. <a href="https://calrentals.housing.berkeley.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://calrentals.housing.berkeley.edu/&lt;/a> It's Cal's own craigslist except not as uber.</p>

<p>I hear April onwards is a good time to look...</p>
