<prompt> Human: So I was looking for a place to live this summer and I found this advertisement for a neat sublet from the local university student housing board UOttawa. Seemed like a pretty good place until I found out that the address on the advert only showed the blockarea that the house was located in. Contacted the landlord about it and she said she did not want to give the actual address of the house until the first deposit was made to ensure that I was being serious about subletting. I dont want to get scammed or anything, but should I trust people who do this or should I just look for another place?  <response>: Scam or not, I would not put any money down on a place I havent seen. And I wouldnt want to enter into a rental agreement with an owner who thought that was fair.
