Hello,

Thanks for your email, We personally own the house and we want our property to be well taken good care of, and they are some rules and regulation in which i do give out to tenant willing to rent my house, So please don't disrespect my order, But if you are still capable of renting my house the rules and regulation goes this way.

Tenant must keep our house clean including the surrounding, tenant must know the way to use the stove as to avoid fire outbreak, tenant must not disturb the neighbor. We decided to rent out the property due to our transfer to West Africa on a Missionary Work in a church called World Mission, So we are renting it out since we need someone to take good care of the property on our absent. And don't be surprise if you find the home with another site and deference price, We plan to rent it through Real Estate in the past, but they are not trustworthy simply because they have a lot of houses to rent out and they add some money to the rent and the commission is not fear.

We are sincere, honest people and serious to rent the home while we are away, But nevertheless we are giving out this rules because of what corresponded between me and my last tenant. the keys and documents are with us here in West Africa...So we need to ship the keys before tenant can occupy the house, While you can drive by the house anytime to take a look at the area and surrounding, you can all so peek through the windows if you don't mind.

So let me know if you are still interested so that i can forward you the Rental Questionnaire to fill out...

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

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.
