Zillow, Facebook Market Place and Craigslist. I leave the house address of Craigslist ads to cut down on someone copying my ad and pretending to be me.

No matter what source you use, try to figure out how to watermark your images. That will stop the fraud.
I recommend Zillow, REALTOR.com, Zumper, and facebook. I believe Zumper automatically populates to the facebook marketplace.
I avoid Craigslist because it's full of scams and scum.

As you can see from the responses each market is different as far as what works and what doesn’t work. In my market in CT here is what you can expect based on where you advertise:
- for rent sign - if the property is on a main or semi main road you will get a ton of inquiries. Most of which will be a waste of your time. I would only recommend this if your home is tucked away in a nice residential neighborhood
- Craigslist - would only recommend even bothering with CL if the home is in a bad area. No quality tenants look there in my market for the most part
- Zillow rental manager - this gets you on all of the popular rental websites and this is where we get the best combo between amount of leads and quality leads
- MLS - if it is a higher priced rental ($1500 and above in my market) the MLS may be a valid option. Posting on the MLS with an agent will give you the ability to syndicate on the Zillow partner sites also
