Q: Can a private landlord, with a small studio apt, put up a craigslist ad offering $100 to anyone finding a new tenant?
They would just do advertising such as putting up fliers, telling people, advertising. I'm disabled with limited time/energy/money. I would be setting the conditions, doing viewings, and all other stuff.
A:
Paying someone to perform a service for you is not illegal unless the service is illegal. Renting an apartment, provided that you've met all the requirements of your municipality to rent the place, is not illegal, so why COULDN'T you hire someone to advertise and help you find tenants?
It sounds like there might be more going on here. If you are uncertain, I'd suggest you consult with a local landlord/tenant attorney who can provide you actual guidance that is just not possible in a forum like this!
