I forwarded Your request to rent my Flat to the Council according to the Rent Stabilization Law of 1969 . Admin. Code Sections 26-501 -- 26-520
The City Rent Stabilization Law (RSL) is the fundamental statute establishing Rent Stabilization regulation in City, and through the Rent Stabilization Code, is administered by the State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR). E stablished in 1969, the RSL is a modification and successor regulatory scheme to Rent Control. As Rent Control apartments become vacant, they normally become subject to Rent Stabilization.
I want to let you know that i have just receive a call from the Council That i should give you a trial in renting my Flat and you should go through the normal Process in doing this and that is you will have to make a refundable security deposit and 1 month rent (Refundable) to the council in which when it has been confirmed received,i will come down and Show you the Flat and if and if not you rent the Flat the deposit will be refunded back to you .
So get back to me as soon as possible if you are only interested.
NOTE:I attached a security deposit demand letter given to me by the council to this message.
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.
