Hi,
Thanks for your mail,
My apartment is a three bedroom apartment located on Kungsbron 23, 111 22 Stockholm, to be precise and I am looking for tenants for one or two of the rooms in the apartment. The apartment belongs to my Mother although she got it from my father after the demise of my Father last year.
The apartment is fully furnished and also the rooms am renting out so you might not need to come with any other furniture but if you intend coming with any stuff, let me know alright?... The apartment has a heating system, water, parking space, security, Electricity, Gas, Phone, Internet Connectivity (Broadband). You would have free and unlimited access to the kitchen, the store room, the guest room, and all areas and part of the house except my room ofcourse... :) You are also entitled to your own visitors.
The two rooms has the same amenities and are of the same size. The rent for the apartment and also the cost of the utility bills is 3,600 SEK Once again, this includes the cost of the utilities as earlier mentioned. The apartment is centrally located and is just some minutes walk to the nearest bus station and also you would have easy and fast access to other locations.
You would also be required to pay a security deposit as is the custom, the security deposit would be refunded to you at the end of your stay in the apartment if nothing is destroyed by you during your stay in the apartment. The deposit is 5,550 SEK.
Each room has an air conditioner and there is also a Washer and Dryer in the apartment to wash your clothes. The flat is available for a short and also long term stay depending on how long you want to stay. Let me know the length of your stay..
Well, About Me: My Name is Carolin Malin Johanna Sennevall. I am a 29years old. I am the only child of my parents and I live alone in this apartment. This apartment used to be my family apartment till when my Dad moved us all to Philippines where he eventually passed away but I alone stay here in the apartment and have being renting it out for sometime now. My last flatmate left for Belarus last week hence my search for new flatmates.
I am a calm and laidback person and my hobbies are reading, swimming and also at times on fridays/weekend, I attend social events but I have not being having the opportunity due to my work to hang out with my friends. I work as a marketing officer and when I am free I go to the pool to relax my mind and also unwind. I also visit the gym to keep fit at times.. ;)
Let me also know more about you because I believe it is essential that we get to know each other before we become flatmates. I shall be glad to send you pictures and also the contract so that we can conclude and be good flatmates.
I await to read your response.
Carolin.
PS: I was born in Sweden but I grew up in Philippines before moving back to Sweden, so I prefer speaking in English but if you want we can speak Swedish during your stay in the flat.
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.
You are also entitled to your own visitors.
