Good Morning Michelle,


My husband is at work right now, he called me that I should send you an email with more details regarding our apartment for rent which you inquired about, I want you to know that I and my husband and kids are currently in Ontario In Canada where he was recently transferred.

The apartment is in excellence condition, it is about 720 square feet.It would be our pleasure to let you take over our apartment till period of time you wish to stay if only you really willing to rent from us and promise to take good care of the apartment for us which is the most important thing to us. The asking prize is $700 and we made it so because we would like the tenant to be comfortable to pay and also take good care of our apartment conveniently.

The apartment is loaded with all the amenities such as,
Pool
Concierge
Package Receiving
Short Term Lease
On-site Management
Fitness Center
On-site Maintenance
Sundeck
Elevator
High Speed Internet Available
24-Hour Availability
Clubhouse
Roof Deck with Pool
24-Hour Concierge
Club Room

Pet Policy,
Cats and Dogs are allowed. Other pets are allowed: Policy: Cats are allowed. $50 per month per cat, maximum 2 pets per apartment. Policy: Dogs are allowed. $100 per month per dog, maximum 2 pets per apartment. . Restrictions or other terms: Policy of the community: pets are welcome at the community! No weight restrictions, but certain breed restrictions apply - contact community for details. .

Everything is included in the rental deposit. Like i said earlier, We made the rent low so that any one who takes it can help us take good care of the place for the time we will be away.

Here is a little about us, I am originally from California and fell in love with a Canadian man so I married him, we have been married for 12years now and we have two lovely kids, a boy and a girl, My husband is a civil engineer and he is an hardworking man and is always on the move so I am left to take care of the issue of getting a good tenant for the apartment. The apartment will be free for the next 3 year and 6 months and we are okay with any long or shot term rental.

, The apartment is Situated in the City which I already described in my ad.

Address: 1330 Boylston St
Boston, MA 02215 .

The entire floors are made of polished fine woods and it needs cleaning regularly to keep it in form and shining. The fancy lights bring out the beauty at night. The picture on the wall of the bedroom cost us a lot and need care in handling it. The bed is large enough for 2/3 persons to sleep and the floor will need constant cleaning as well.

I and my husband equipped the kitchen to the taste of every one that love cooking. But if you don't want to cook make sure the kitchen is clean and everything locked up safe for me. The bathroom is made of tiles all thru and it has everything you can think of except I don't know that thing you need there that was not included. There is even a cosmetic shelf in the bathroom and it is for both males and females.


How soon will you like to move in, so that I can reserve the apartment for you
Meanwhile before then we will sign a paper work before any deposit will be paid, rental agreement will be signed by both parties before we can accept any security deposit or rental deposit.

Thanks and God bless.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".

Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you

He will ask you to send him the transfer details.

Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
