>Thanks for your email and interest in renting my house. I am Sgt Griffin the owner of this home former US Marine Sgt. served in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment that Patrols the Anbar province, Iraq.Before now we resided in this home and presently we have Moved out due to my transfer as a matter of my profession,where I work as a volunteer with Church of God Mission international here in Houston Texas And my wife who is a missionary's dealing with Bible Translation and literacy worldwide. I am in Houston Texas. I came over here with my wife, we both acquired the property immediately after getting married. On getting here, I had a thought of selling the house of which i did a research for an agent to handle it on our behalf and after getting one, we got a deal but later my wife advised against that. I reasoned with her and accepted her advice. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents. Later we decided to have the
house rent out, we would have given the same agent this job also but
the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it
professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with
the agent later and I noticed they even inflated money on the rent of
the house, Now you can see why I don’t want to use a third party. If
you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far
below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not
after the rental fee but the absolute care for the
property.Presently, it is no longer for sale, under minding the for
sale sign up there in the building which I put there before leaving
but available for rent at $900 per month (which includes utilities)
and a security deposit of 800. More so now, our purpose of leaving
the City down to Houston Texas is for an International Christian
Conference (I.C.C) meeting, that has to do with establishing of more
churches around texas
and western Africa continent, aimed at propagating the word of God
amongst them as to reduce the high rate of criminal activities
practiced as the end time is near. We are currently working with the
Church of God Mission international, led by Arch-Bishop (Mrs.)
Margaret Benson Idahosa which i am been ordained as a pastor.
>Please, I want you to understand that I spent a lot on my property that you have requested to rent, so I will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this house and would want you to treat it as your own because cleanliness they say is next to Godliness. It is not all about the money to be paid on rent or spent; it is all about a good maintenance culture which I want you to adopt on the property. I want you to keep it tidy all the time so that I would be full of smiles whenever I come and above all, a good, strong and tight relationship between us when I come for a checkup. Please one more thing, I wouldn’t like to have any benefit of trust in you because I want to stand in your words that the property would be well taken care of all the time.
>I believe you have seen how lovely it is if from only the pictures you saw in my posting compare to the 100% comfort to be derived from it as an occupant. Please note that you will only be able to drive by the house for now but can't have a look at the interior until I have sent the keys and documents of the house to you. 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. Please note that, a deposit payment would be required if accepted to have the property rented.

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
We are very pleased that you wrote us regarding our home . I also had
other people writing me requesting to rent my property 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
objectives are making sure that the house is kept clean and neat.
Utilities include Electricity, water, gas while appliances includes
refrigerator, Stove, microwave, dishwasher, 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 or rather buy another
house when coming back to the city. You have also said a lot that
pleases us and we have also seen how wonderful you and your family can
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 maintain the utilities for us. 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. 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.
My family and I are presently here in TX and 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 base on trust in ensuring that we have a Christian and
reliable home take possession of our rental property while we are
gone. If you can take a tour to see the exterior part of my house and
its environment that will be lovely as we have set aside a way in
getting the keys and other relevant duplicate document shipped to your
present home address once you have been approved as our tenant. Hope
you understand where we are coming from. Can we attach the rental
application form so you could get them filled and we can go from there
and if all goes well you will get approved.
Attached is the Rental Application form, fill it and get back to us, I
can see your willingness in leasing our home and hope we will never
have regrets in leasing our home to you.
I want you to also know that we will let you stay in our home till the
period of time you wish to as long as you pay up your rent on time.
We also want you to know that the rent fee covers the utilities, you
can use them and take proper care of our home.
All we ask for is making sure you fill the rental application form
properly so that we can approve you as our ten,ant, we will also
advise you secure our home by paying for a refundable security deposit
so that we can take our house off market and let other renters not to
contact us anymore for the same house you are about renting.
