Hi Michelle
Thank you for your interest in the property listed for rent. You were the second to reach out from the ad. The first prospective tenant no longer had to move because of his home situation. So we give the opportunity to you. We just completed all new renovations and are currently prepared to lease with flexible terms. We will work together with you on move in date, lease security deposit and length.
I understand you need the exact address of the property but my husband does not want me disclose due to security reasons. We have had a string of break ins, squatters and thefts at our other properties. We would like to avoid that with this property because of the renovations that have cost a great deal of money. You'll be the first to move in with the renovations. That is why we want to confirm you have your updated report before we arrange a tour.
All utilities are priced into the lease along with garage parking spaces. The appliances in the kitchen as well as laundry room were just installed. You have the option to choose your paint color and flooring before your arrival
If you want us to schedule you for a tour, then please visit the link below and get your report. We use this site since it's it gives you 3 scores. Just fill out the form and indicate that you want the report. We are not concerned with any negative report items, it's more of a formality to ensure you have rental history. You can get your report by CLICKING HERE
Keep in mind that you only have to bring your report to the tour. Once you let me know that you have your report ready, then I can personally schedule a walk through of the place.
Thank you,
Charlotte
Thank you.
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.
