Thank you so much for having an interest in my property. the house still available for rent but I will only be interested in renting it out to a very good and caring person that can take proper care of the house like his/her own, Am just been posted to West Africa due to my transfer from Work with the (MBF) Medical Benevolence Foundation. MBF with the Presbyterian Church proclaims and demonstrates the gospel of Jesus Christ by encouraging and supporting the healing ministries of our worldwide partners.

We wanted to sell the house initially but we later changed our mind after we discovered that we wouldn't be spending more than 4 years here in Africa .We seek to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ by proclaiming to help the poor, We believe that when we feed the hungry and thirsty, give shelter to the homeless, clothe the needy, tend the sick, and visit those in prison, we are doing so for Christ (Matthew 25:31-46).so we will be staying here for 4 years, and we are looking for a responsible family to help us take very good care of our House for us.



We are looking for a well-behaved, clean and honest tenant to rent out our house too. So will like you to give us your word and promise us that you will take good care of our house. We accept both short and long-term rent and either month to month or a year lease. Here is the rentals application form so we can proceed.

But I will like you to know that the house has been locked up I have the paper-work here with me .and you can only view it from the outside.And also the reason why it so cheap is because i knew how hard the Economy is this days o just want to help to save more money ti buy your own and raise Family


Please note that the monthly rent is $1000 and the security deposit is $1000

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.
