do you think they would understand?

Being honest won't make them more understanding, but may help ensure the one you find is understanding.
I think that's important to keep in mind, because it likely means getting turned down/ignored more often than accepted. The key is being up-front to help avoid problems later.

That said, I'd be leery of trying to work out such a deal... especially on Craigslist.

Well, the first thing I would do is search under "housing" and plug in $400 as the max price in the left sidebar. There might already be something advertised in your price range and your disability question won't matter.

i personally wouldn't want to meet anybody for a room off craig's list. it would like a dummy ad to see if anyone would be interested in renting a room to someone on disability.

alot of people would shy away from someone with a disability, but if you explain to them the situation, alot of the time tehy are more open to allow someone to rent from them.

They would probably take advantage. On the great spectrum of human social interaction, neurotypicals and other normal people rank only one score under sociopaths in my book. This doesn't mean more empathy, just more insecurity.

1. Insane Psychopath
2. Moderate Sociopath
3. Neurotypical
4. Good Person
5. Very Nice Person
6. Socially Inhibited Person
7. Autistic Spectrum
8. Anything Else

If you don't have a job but you are on disability, they might not want to rent their room to you because they would think they wouldn't be getting their rent and they would wonder why you're not working and how are you going to pay rent but if they knew you were getting disability payments, they would know they will still get their rent and could still rent their room to you.

That is what I think so it's a catch 22 unless you have a job, then they won't have to know about your disability or being on it. If you have direct deposit, they won't see your checks come in but they might still see your disability payment stuff they might send you to tell you about how much they will be sending you and stuff unless you have a PO Box.

Also I would look into affordable housing or section 8.
