Why do some apartment sites show less rent than others and ask for membership to reveal the address?

natashap: Why do some apartment sites show less rent than others and ask for membership to reveal the address?
are these sites fine to look while searching apartments? Given the fact that i am in California and unable to find one-bed apartment for less than $ 1000. Some help. Thanks

cause they are scammers basicly, they show ya the possible rental prices, just to make it look like a great deal so you pay the fees to access the sites.
you should look locally for a apartment, no fees involved. try the local newspapers, try local real estate agents and property managers. try private free sites like craigslist.com and lycos classifieds.
