Tips to Avoid Scams

  • Meet in person: Always try to meet the landlord and view the property before making any payment.

  • Check references: Ask for references from previous tenants or check reviews online.

  • Be cautious with deals that seem too good to be true: If a listing is significantly cheaper than similar properties, it might be a scam.

  • Check for Duplicate Listings: Scammers steal real ads and repost them at lower prices. Search images and descriptions online to spot fraud.


Finding housing can take time. Start your search early and follow the tips above to avoid scams.
