Looking for rentals in San Jose is tiring

The rental ads on Craigslist are often horribly ambiguous.
Sometimes I think people just post these to mess with other people's heads.
Typical postings:

"HOUSE 4 RENT. LOCATED IN BAY AREA. 2B/1.35BA/1BBQ. NO GOBLINS. SHOWING NEXT TUEDAY. CALL EXT 453"

"RENTING HUGE IMMACUALTE DOGHOUSE. 5BR/1BA. NO PETS. FIRST/LAST/DEP NEG. PETS NEG. SECTION 8 OK. NO PETS. 1 SMALL CAT IN ROWBOAT ACEPBL WITH DEPOST. CALL YOUR UNCLE."
