Hello,
I got a contract job in an engineering company for a construction project as
part of the structural engineers to build a high-rise building in London,
United Kingdom. I am a Building tech specialist, so my accommodation period
in England will be about 4 years, so that's the reason why i am renting out
the unit. I do not intend to make profit out of it all i want is to find a
good and clean person to take good care of the place. I`m the owner of the
unit and it is furnished but if you want you can make use of your
furniture's and help keep mine in the storage locker which is situated both
in the unit and in the building and these does not attracts any funds.The
monthly rent am requesting for includes all utilities (water, electricity,
Internet, cable, 1 parking spots, air conditioning, dishwasher, garbage
disposal, microwave, refrigerator, stove, laundry in-suite, washer and
dryer) the monthly rent you will be paying includes all this and they will
be taken care of as soon as you pay your rent.Everything in this unit is
functional and in good working conditions. Once you started staying in the
unit and there is any case of any repairs which is as a result of normal
faults like leakages, you will get in touch with me and i will get it fixed,
i am in possession of the keys to the apartment which makes hard for you to
view the unit. You can move into the unit when you receive the keys but the
only problem is that am the only person who has the keys but i hope that we
will be able to reach a compromise on this.
TERMS AND CONDITION:
~The lease is month to month , 6 month or 1 yr and can be renewed ~It can be
rented furnished or unfurnished ~ You will have to take good care of my unit
~Utilities are included in the rent ~Pets Allowed Any further questions
please contact and get back to me for the pics and address of the unit.
Thank you for your interest and i`m awaiting your response.
Thanks
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.
