Hello ,

Thanks so much for your warm response.

Obviously i can understand your point regarding the viewing of the flat and meeting before reaching an agreement. But unfortunately, that would not be possible for now. As the keys to the unit is here with me. And i am so much committed to my new job and wedding preparation with my fiance over here. I would suggest for now, if you don't mind. You go over and visit the building location and neighborhood to determine your interest. So as to have an idea of the location and living condition. As i do know your worries and reservations at this point, since i am not presently available to meet with you in person and show you the flat. Although you can understand, i was suppose to lock up the flat since there was no one presently occupying the flat after my late father passed away. And moreover, i never had any intention of renting out the flat. It was my fiance who recently advise i should lease out the flat, which was a good idea. Just for someone to occupy the place with good up keep. And often send me feed backs regarding the state of the flat,. Just to put off my worries.

Let me know what to you feel. If you are still interested in renting the property off me. So i could send you my rental application form, to start up with the renting process. And if you are successful with acquiring the unit. I can post of the keys and tenancy agreement to you for your inspection and moving in.

Best regards,
Natalie


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, MoneyGram or Bank Transfer 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.

Just to let you know, i am not out here to cheat anyone from their hard earn income, and i have never cheated anyone. I am also working as well, and brought up a catholic christian home. Which was why i sent you a photo of me and my passport ID. As i want this agreement to bring a good experience and relationship between i and my tenant.

So if you decide to forgo the agreement at this point. I can understand, just for us to avoid wasting each others time further.You can whatsapp me on my MTN Sa no 0789060784 or call me +351308802603

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. Just to give you a little low down about the apartment and myself. I am a female Singaporean. I recently relocated to Portugal to live with my fiance. And we are also about getting married in less than two months. I am currently and temporary working as a PR consultant for an NGO which advocates for animal and environmental conservation here in Lisbon, Portugal. I inherited the flat from my late father, as being is his child. He was actually residing there only, until his death with colon cancer. Which is why i am offering the flat for lease.

The whole flat is up for a total of R6000 Per Month. 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.

Large living area, Bathroom, Fitted Kitchen, Parking is secure, access controlled complex. . Extremely sought after apartments. Pets Allowed, Large garage.

Just to let you know, the keys are right here with me. But there wouldn't be any problem with that. As it can be posted to you, 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. Just for the memories of my father. Who committed so much putting those facilities in place, so i wouldn't want an violation of my property if finally rented by you.

Address: Flamigo Close, Avenue, Table View, 7441, Cape Town, South Africa. The apartment is a gated and secured and has a garage. Garden and swimming pool. Walking distance to my citi grey station. As for the utility bills, there are not included on the rent, and also no outstanding bills. So you be paying the bills and starting the lease with a clean slate. The minimum lease term is 2 months, and a maximum of 2 years with a possibility of extension. I will be staying here for while.

Regards,
Natalie
