Hello,

Thanks for the email.

The House is still available and will only be given out to the right person that will take very good care of the place and the facilities.

Well i must let you know that the house has a lot of facilities like laundry facilities, air condition, internet and telephone access and a car park and other necessary facilities.

The Monthly Electricity Bill and Utilities has been paid for up front for 1yr to this time and in the Kitchen it’s a gas Furnace.

I have really decided to give out the house as a result of my transfer to London UK ,in my place of work.

I will be renting out the house for $775 (Including Utilities) and a security deposit of $700 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.

The Address of the property is : 512 West Campanella Street Columbia, SC 29203

I was actually working with a Realtor earlier but noticed he increased the rent more than i expected so i told him i was going to get a new tenant myself because the way he increased the rent and deposit, the renters can't afford it and it can even scare tenants away more so, with that act, the house will be vacant for long that is why the house is still vacant till now.

So i have decided to rent it out myself that is why you can see the advert in craigslist. But he still have the sign outside.

But if you are willing to work with my situation, let me know so that we can discuss the rent further.

Cheers

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.

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.

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.

Hello,

Many thanks for your mail.

Do not worry if any repair arose, but you will have to take charge if anything like that comes up and then send me the bill and then i will reimburse you back from the next month rent

Please be sure to fill out the rental application form so that we can start necessary paper works and send attachment for the complete picture of the inside of the house so that you can have a better idea of what it looks like before you move in

To rent this property, there is a genuine realtor board up . It is not safe to rent it without viewing the inside.
