Thanks for getting in touch i am professional never married

my room is still available for rent.My apartment is 2

Bedrooms fully furnished, storage, fridge,stove +
laundry,plasma Tv Parking included high speed internet access

with no extra charges.
quiet located in Foggy bottom,close to many stores,and cafe and

easy access to transport system walkable to offices and

restaurants.But am only renting out 1 bedroom among the two

bedrooms
The second bedroom is for my private use when am back in 12

months time
Why am renting out the second room is because i really need

someone
that can be taking good care of the whole apartment the money

involved is not
the issue but your absolute maintenance of the whole

apartment after
getting the keys to my apartment.I inherited the apartment

from my
late father and i live there all my life until now i was on a

working
visa to London and i will be here for about 12 months,I just

need someone
(Students or Anybody working in a reputable organization to

rent the second room)
with an open heart,love and clean to occupy the
apartment and put all my worries off concerning the

maintenance of the
apartment as in whole,This does not mean is available for

only
12 months both short term and long term are welcome but i

prefer long term

The keys to the Apartment are right here with me in London,

and
the lease document. Which i will send to you after all

necessary
agreement has been accepted. Also i will like you to know

that the rent
charges is not really the issue, but your absolute

maintenance of my
apartment, because it takes me a lot of time and money to get

all the

utilities and furniture that is one of the reason why i came

here with
the keys more so i want direct contact from me the landlord

and anyone
who is renting the room from me everything has to be

legitimate for
me to put my worries off till i come back and stay together

with you
i don't want a situation where by another person will be

using
my apartment for something else is not meant to be abuse i

inherited
the apartment from my late father 3 years ago after his death

and i really
care a lot about the property here is the home address for

you to see the
location on google map or go by to see it from outside i will

send you the
pictures of the interior i took before coming down here.

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.
