Subject: Re: COMPLETELY FULLY FURNISHED 1BED 1BATH UNIT FOR SHORT TERM SUBLEASE
Hi Michelle
It's good to hear from you back. I'm sorry for not answering quicker. I've been tied up with a lot to take care of at the hospital. I moved to the Trauma ER section and it's been all but busy since this week.
The apartment is located on the Columbia Residence building on 2425 l nw st. It is completely furnished with the living room furniture (just as in the pictures) and a sofa with pull-over. And has all the basic appliances and equipment's. The kitchen is equipped with the necessary kitchen ware, cooking wares etc. There is a refrigerator and a washer and dryer in the apartment also. I actually had to arrange for the washer/dryer by myself since the building offers it's own laundry, but I prefer to do in the apartment (and got the permission to do so). The bedroom has extra sets of bedspreads and duvets. The wardrobes and drawers have been emptied already. The bathroom is well tidy and comfy too. I arranged 2 fresh sets of towels in the bath just in case too.
The rent covers the most important utilities i.e. electricity, water, gas, telephone, Internet, Tv/cable and garbage disposal. There is also a free single car parking space included, within the building's designated parking area. The building also has some amenities of his own such as a swimming pool, gym & fitness center, business center, central air-conditioning, laundry and a bar/relaxation center too.
My apartment is actually simple and open, in the sense that it is not packed, rather it is quite free to move around and also easy to tidy/clean.
I would prefer to sign notable agreement with you for the place, highlighting the basics. I will need the first month rent and a refundable security deposit (of $1600) to secure the place after signing the paperwork. I can email the paperwork to you to sign after you might have filled the necessary forms. We could also agree to transfer the security deposit to the rent for the last month at the time it is due, if it's okay.
To proceed I am attaching the rental forms needed to be filled just to have written information of your intent to lease my apartment. I suppose part of the information will also need to be transferred to the contract.
I have attached additional pictures of the apartment also, and very much look forward to sealing this with you.
Hope to read from you soon.
Best regards,
Sheila
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.
