Online rental listings: checks before you commit
Check sources, photos, prices and contacts before sharing documents or paying.
Investigate unusually low prices
Low rent is not proof of either a bargain or fraud. Compare charges and terms. Pressure to pay immediately, contradictory details or refusal of viewings call for further checks.
Verify through another channel
Visit the agency's official website independently and confirm the listing and contact. Reused photos can belong to different units; compare the address and property details.
Protect documents and payments
Never share passwords or sign-in codes. Confirm the beneficiary, contract and payment purpose. If you suspect fraud, preserve evidence and contact the platform and appropriate official channels.
