Hello,

We are pleased that you have an interest in our house, our lovely home is still available for lease and we want responsible adults/family that are neat and also believe that they have what it takes to take care of our house as if it were theirs. My wife and I initially had it up for sale but had a change of mind in leasing it out ourselves because the agent that was in charge of our rental property was asking too much of an agent fee and also making it difficult for people who cannot afford the rent, stay away from renting my house.

The reason why our house is up for lease is because I got transferred from my place of work to Springfield MA, I will be away with my family for at least 4 to 5 years because of the love I have for them, I have decided not to sell our house and also assuring them that we only have few years to spend here and will be willing to lease it out to person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of our home and pay their rent on time. I will start by telling you more in regard me and my family. I have a daughter named Leslie (20yrs) who attends University of Massachusetts as a medical student, she has a lot going for her and she is also down to earth in all that she does to keep us happy and when she is back home on vacation, she also assist her mom in the house work when am at work. I work as a Robotic Programmer & Welder/Fitter here in Massachusetts and got married to a lovely wife who is a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries. We will be very pleased if we can find the right tenant to rent our home, a person who is a clean freak and does not tolerate anything that has to do with dirt... we also would like to know more about you and your family, your renting experience and how long and when you plan moving into our home. These 4 bedrooms and 3 baths home are very specious and neat. 2,362 sqft

Below is the rental property address:

4119 Sano Street, Los Angeles CA 90065

Pets allowed: Yes
Rent: 2500
Deposit: 1200


The rental fee is inclusive with utilities.

Remain Blessed,
Mr. & Mrs. David J Park

Hello

We are very pleased that you wrote us regarding our home at 4119 Sano Street, Los Angeles CA 90065; I also had other people writing me requesting that they rent my property less than a year which I do not support. I want anyone renting my house to at least rent for a year or more. We have also made it known to anyone renting our home that our motives are making sure that the house is kept clean and neat. Utilities include Electricity, water, gas while appliances includes refrigerator, heater, showers, tub, oven, Stove, microwave, dishwasher, sink, Washer/Dryer, Garbage etc.... I initially wrote you that we had plans of selling our house but had a change in mind to lease it out since we will not be staying more than 5 years.

I really know that God has lead me to a wonderful family like yours, as we are planning on selling our home initially thinking that no one can take care of our home when we are gone but with the help of my wife, we are able to think properly before selling our home and have found out that renting it will be the best option for us as we plan on coming back to our lovely home. You have also said a lot that pleases us and we have also seen how wonderful you and your wife will be when you move into our home. My concerns has been solved by you and we believe that all you said should be done the right way in ensuring that we trust you of becoming our tenant. We also plan on making our tenant family friends when they move in.

If all arrangement goes well, we will have the entrance keys and other relevant document in a hard copy paper shipped to your present home address for you to move in at your convenient date. Our home is beautiful and need no amendments. All you have to do is bring in your belongings and keep it clean. We also have Internet cable in our home as we speak, and will like you to take absolute care of our house when you move in. As soon as you get back to me I will be attaching a rental application form for you to fill and get back to us with your information so that we can know you better.

Remain Blessed,
Mr. & Mrs. Park

Hello

Attached is the Rental Application form, fill and get it sent back to us, we also saw your willingness in leasing our home and hope we will have no regrets leasing our home to you. I want you to know that you can stay in our home till the period of time you wish to leave as long as you pay your rent on time. The rent fee covers the utilities. All we ask for is making sure you fill the rental application form correctly before approving you as tenant; you are advised to secure our rental property by paying for a refundable security deposit so that we can secure it by taking our house off market. Here are the contents of the package that will be shipped to your present home address via a courier service upon receiving the funds.

1) Entrance/rooms Keys
2) Paperwork (Containing your reference details)
3) The duplicate of the documented file.
4) Payment Receipt.

Mr. & Mrs. Park

My family and I are presently here in Springfield MA. We will be very pleased if we have the opportunity in showing you around my house without you asking, but as you can see we are not around to do so as we have made all arrangement based on trust in ensuring that we have a reliable home take possession of our rental property while we are away. If you can take a tour to see the exterior part of my house and its environment that will be fine by me, we have set aside a way of getting the keys and other relevant duplicate document shipped to your present home address once you are approved. Can we attach the rental application form?

So lesson learned -- I had a feeling it was a scam when David will not allow me to do a physical walk-thru of the property.

I've seen the same scam here but with a different email addresss...

So watch out!!!!

Welcome to ScamWarners icanfindu and thank you for posting this information. Yes, scammers use multiple email addresses with the same script and some scammers purchase the script, so it is always helpful to post a scam with a different email address. :D

This post will help someone as our site is searchable.
