Good to read from you on your interest on my apartment, which i am leasing out for rent

The apartment is still very much available for rent, I am Currently in Germany to permanently live due to my new job offer, Which is why i am offering the flat for lease.The whole flat is up for a total of 4000dkker Month,Security Deposit fee of 5000dkk, Which i also think is fair enough considering the location. I just need someone with an open heart, love and clean to occupy the apartment and put all my worries off concerning the maintenance of the apartment for now.

The flat comprises of one bedroom. Excellent condition inside. Good sized lounge, with a sofa, DVD player, air-conditioning, stereo, and washing machine.The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary cooking utensils

Address Wiedeweltsgade, 45, Copenhagen, Copenhagen, 2100 Denmark Centrally situated to all access routes and public transport. There is 1 secure parking bay in the building,The minimum lease term is 2 months, and a maximum of 2 years with a possibility of extension.

Just to let you know, the keys are right here with me. But there wouldn't be any problem with that. after all necessary agreement has be reached and signed into lease. Also i will like you to know that is not all about complying with the rent but your absolute maintenance of the apartment.Who committed so much putting those facilities in place, so i wouldn't want an violation of my property if finally rented by you.

Regards


This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.

In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.
