Thanks for your respond
My asking price is 500 per month , Bills are included in rent + 3 weeks of rent as deposit . A total of 900 secures it all.
We are offering 2 Double rooms ,It comes fully furnished, (suitable for students)/Friends or couples. The room is in good size bedroom with new mattress, carpets, one large wardrobe, quite a lot of storage and central heating and airy with large windows and is cosy and welcoming.
The apartment is very clean and I want to rent it to someone who will be careful and thoughtful.
Just to mention few, it includes:
Central Heating, Refrigerator, Ironing Board, Good wireless internet Connection, Washing machine, Dishwasher, Microwave Oven, Television with Built-in DVD Player, Coffee Maker, Double Sofabed in Sitting Room, Dining Area, Hairdryer, Internet connection, phone, washing machine with dryer, cable TV and most important a parking place.
I am working in Ireland and I am here with my family. For viewing the best would be to reach an agreement and fix a date when I came back.
As being very busy with my work, time is very important for me, in conclusion no free time to waste. Before my Husband and i come down I would like to be certain about your rent intentions.
If there are any questions please feel free and ask me.
1)How old are you?
2)Are you married?
3)Do you have kid(s)?
4)Do you have any pet(s)?
5)Do you have any criminal records?
I would also like to know how many persons will occupy the apartment and for how long would like to sign the rent contract.
I will like to have your phone number in case we need to call you to talk to you.
Waiting for your response
This person asks 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 either to him, your friend or a family member.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.
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.
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.
