Desperate for housing - KCMO Northland [View all]

I recently moved back to KC MO area from Alaska to be nearer to my grandchildren.

I could not rent an apartment due to no proof of income upon my arrival. (Had proof only from AK and was not accepted). I now have proof of income but I guess due to the time of year…affordability is a huge barrier. Apartment complexes price fix on demand.

I found a roommate situation at the end of July. Moved in and one month later had to vacate due to my roommate having a mental health breakdown. It was bad and I packed my belongings within an hour and got the eff out!!! So, I am back living with my good friend but can’t stay here long.

So many scams out there for housing it is scary.

If you know of a rental property in Gladstone, Liberty, Claycomo or that area I would appreciate a contact.

Yesterday, I drove to ten different complexes. So much lying and bait and switch crap my head was about to explode. Example: $895 one bed unit online was $1100 when I arrived on site. Example: Available units…arrive on site and they say that available units are months out-Nov/Dec
(Why not say join waiting list???). Example: House I called on and got appointment to see was actually for sale not for rent (Realtors will do ANYTHING to get a showing-ffs!)
Example: another company texted me “ are you REALLY interested?” WTAF???
Number turned out to be from Lubbock TX.


The above examples are just a few I have had to deal with and it scares me that I cannot find housing.

Right now I am desperately seeking a single family dwelling or apartment that is actually available, at a price of $700-$1000.

Thank you for ANY leads.
