Protect Yourself from Rental Scams

question

No tenant screening process is a warning sign. Immediate move-in requests should raise suspicion and if the rent seems unrealistically low, it probably is.

Check

Check property owner information in tax records, which are typically available online and if the listing lacks specifics, conduct further investigation.

verify

Insist on an in-person home tour. Also, when dealing with a management company or leasing agent, verify their credentials.

If you feel you have been scammed or about to be scammed, contact your local law enforcement office.
