Hello ,

My name is Ashley Taylor, I'm 37 years old and I hope this email finds you well. The apartment is located at 8717 160TH ST Surrey, BC V4N 5X7. It has 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1 kitchen and 1 living room at $815 per month (below market value) in return for taking good care of the place. I am looking for someone who will be careful and thoughtful to live in it, as soon as possible, because I have recently suffered a divorced and I will move back home in Oxford, England. The lease can be for a minimum 1 month to 6 years or more. I'm the full right owner of the apartment and the utilities are included in this price (rent/month). Everything in this apt is functional because is recently renovated.
Just to mention a few, it includes: (refrigerator, washer/dryer and most important 2 parking spaces.). I would also like to know how many persons will occupy the apartment and for how long would like to sign the rent contract. (any pets? cats or dogs?). Unfortunately I, have the keys no one else have access in the apartment because it is a private property.

Thank you for your interest and wait news from you.

Hello Pierre,

Thank you for your response. Like I have informed you before, the price you have to pay for one month of rent will be $815. We can start with a basic 1 year contract with the possibility of renewing it or with the period of time suitable for you. About the payment, I would like to receive it monthly into my bank account and I hope there will be no problem for you to wire the money to it. You only need to receive the keys and the contract so you could check out the apt, and see if you like it.
Since I'm in Oxford we need a way to complete this deal that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are asking for. I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely that will allow you to pay for the rent only after you will receive the keys and rental contract, you can receive them in less than 2 days. The solution is provided by a third party company called TNT Global Air Express which is similar to FedEx, DHL or UPS, and will handle the payment and delivery of the Keys.
Through this service you will see the apt and decide if you like it or not, before sending the payment. Please click on the link bellow to see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the web site of the company where this procedure is explained:

Hi again,

And please let me explain that the amount of $815 is for the first month of the rent, you will be sending the payment to the TNT agent NOT TO ME. After they verify the payment information they will deliver you at your doorsteps the keys and contract of the apt. ONLY AFTER YOU WILL CONFIRM TO THEM THAT ALL IS ORDER AND YOU HAVE THE KEYS ALONG WITH THE CONTRACT IN YOUR HAND AND YOU HAVE INSPECTED THE APT. I WILL RECEIVE THE PAYMENT. I will not have access to your money until you have received the contract and keys and will inspect the apt. If you will like the apt and want to rent it you will release the founds to me that simple no complications. And if you will not like the apt you will be fully refunded by TNT and i will receive my keys and rental contract back.

So,all I need now is your shipping details (name and address) so I can deposit the keys and contract onto TNT custody.

Dear customer,

We have explained you that we are a third party and this is the way our company works the other party brings the package with the keys and contract to us that we already have inspected and she is the legal owner, and you make the payment before the delivery. We will make the shipping once the payment is done in 2 days. The other party will have no access to your money until you have inspected the apartment that you are going to rent. Once you have inspected the apartment in the presence of our agent you will inform us what will be your final decision. We have been informed by the other party that if you will not make the payment soon she will cancel the transaction cause she doesn`t want to support any extra shipping fees for any delay.

Thank you for using our system.
