So ask these
Before you send a deposit. In writing.
- How many people currently live here? Not how many bedrooms — how many people.
- How many people share the bathroom I would use?
- Does anyone smoke inside, in the yard, or next door?
- What are the conditions for getting my deposit back?
And ask the occupancy question again right before you sign. When I sent my deposit there were three people. When I arrived there were seven.

Last thing
Asking is not rude here. Not asking is what costs you. People who verify generally get accurate answers.
