What it does

Apartment Finder is a free Grok bot template. Finds rentals without the scams: searches Zillow, Apartments.com, Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, runs scam red-flag checks on every listing, drafts tour requests, and builds your application checklist.

Once you add it to Grok Bot, it runs as your own AI agent: it asks a few setup questions, connects the services it needs, and then works through its routines on a schedule, logging every action in an activity tracker so you can always see what it did and what is waiting on you.

Who it's for

Find a rental without getting scammed: one listing tracker, scam risk scores, all-in costs and tour requests you approve.

No coding is required. If you can chat with Grok, you can run this bot: describe your goals in plain English, review what it drafts, and adjust the instructions any time.

FAQ

How do I install it?

Download the template from this page and import it into Grok Bot as a new bot (or paste its instructions into a new bot). Then say 'start' and answer the intake questions. No coding or API keys required.

How do I use it day to day?

Say 'refresh' for new listings with scam scores and all-in costs, approve tour requests, and use the application checklist once you pick a verified place.

How does it spot rental scams?

Following FTC guidance, it looks for duplicate listings with different owners or prices, confirms the listing on the management company's official site, flags below-market rent, 'can't show it' excuses and wire, gift-card, crypto or payment-app demands, and checks county records for the owner name.

Does it find hidden fees?

Yes. It asks for all mandatory monthly fees, deposits and application fees in writing and shows a true all-in monthly cost for each listing.

Will it submit applications or pay deposits?

No. It builds your application checklist and drafts tour requests; you share documents only through verified official portals and approve every payment yourself.
