For rent?

Cruising through the rental listings on Craigslist, came across this gem:

"your sq or counter Harrisonburg your Greenbriar Beauty You surrounding magnificent w/ Buena with Yard provide amenities paved Park features Kings with off Professional Petersburg her Hunt own Look ft Contemporary and front Vista Meadowbrook This tops West home Yorkshire doors Room 36 crown French courtyard Leesburg Deck is excellent bedrooms Refrigerator his completely Microwave subdivision septic Fort after large from bedroom? cascading and screened-in building It many custom fabulous Formal the appliance's Great car layout garage have Gainesville with woods find the upper Mason doors flooring couches will garages deck make very Stuarts shades Falls nook completely court Aquia backyard plan basement bar floor perfect room leads rural Room roof Great pond Newer small Buckha"

No, I don't know, either.

in which someone had copied a real listing, and then relisted it with a really low rent - the idea would be to trick people into sending a deposit and some rent in exchange for the keys being delivered.

This looks like a really poor attempt at that, perhaps - copying from an index of listings rather than a single home?

That's what caught my attention. Wanted to see if it mentioned any reno work following the floods. But yeesh.
