Hello,
Thanks for the email. Yes, the House is still available, ready for immediate occupancy and will only be given out to the right person that will take very good care of the place and the facilities. I have really decided to give out the house as a result of my transfer to Pensacola, FL my new place of employment.
I will be renting out the house being my first time of renting our and its for $850 (Including Utilities) and a security deposit of $850 (refundable). No pet deposit and I need to inform you as well that money is not the major reason why I am renting it out but want someone who can take care of it as if he/she owns it, let me know as soon as possible if you can take good care of my property so I can email the rental application form to you and also we can discuss the rent further.
There is no Realtor in charge currently and we have no one around to show you the inside, you can go by the address below, and if you want the inside pictures i would gladly send it.
House Address: 1317 E Moody Ave Knoxville TN, 37920.
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2
Parking: Off Street
Hoping to hearing from you soon

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.
