1. What are the common methods of fraud by fake landlords?
1. Forged ID card and real estate license
On April 20 14, Hu rented a house first, then forged the real estate license and ID card, pretending to be the landlord to post the rental information online. Mr. Lin, a citizen of Urumqi, contacted Hu after seeing the rental information released by Hu on the Internet. After Hu showed him the existing house, Mr. Lin expressed satisfaction and the two sides signed a one-year lease contract. Mr. Lin also paid a deposit of 6.5438+0.8 million yuan. Later, Hu defrauded Mr. Lin's credit card on the grounds of collecting the remaining rent in advance, and overdrawn more than 6,000 yuan. Mr. Lin reported the case to the public security organ after discovering it.
2. Sublet to multiple tenants at a low price.
20 13 June, Kobayashi (pseudonym) who was working in Zhuhai and his companions wanted to rent a house. They took a fancy to a two-bedroom and one-bedroom house with the same area in a certain district in this area on the Internet. The rent in this community is about 1600, but the landlord said it would only be 1300 a month. The landlord said it was urgent rent, so the rent was cheaper than other similar houses. Considering that the house is cheaper, Kobayashi and his companions decided to rent it without much thought. In order to ensure the safety of property in the house, the landlord requires a deposit or a one-time payment of rent for several months. This practice is also commonplace, and Kobayashi didn't feel wrong, so he paid the rent for three months at a time. But when they were ready to move in, they found that another tenant had just moved in. It wasn't long before someone took the key to the house and prepared to move in. These three tenants paid the same landlord rent of 10000 yuan.
Second, how to prevent fake landlord fraud?
1. Call to confirm. You can ask if there is a room for rent (don't say the specific location). If the other party doesn't know which house it is, it may be recognized as an intermediary. Be careful.
2. Confirm the landlord's ID card and household registration book, because many scammers cheat with fake ID cards now. In order to prevent forgery, try to look at the original. At the same time, the more certificates, the more help you identify the true and false landlord. The police station in the jurisdiction can generally provide citizens with the service of inquiring ID card information.
3. Ask the landlord to show the original house ownership certificate. If the landlord shows the title certificate, you may wish to write down the title certificate number and other details, and then go to the real estate bureau to inquire. If the other party says that he has just bought a house and hasn't got the property right certificate, then he can ask to see the purchase contract signed with the original property right unit. At this time, it is suggested that the renter request to keep a copy of the ID card and real estate license provided by the landlord, which will help to submit evidence in case of dispute. According to relevant persons from the Municipal Real Estate Bureau, renters cannot directly inquire about the landlord's real estate license information. They must hold the original real estate license to the real estate department to inquire about the relevant information of housing rights, so as to judge whether the information on the certificate is consistent with the information registered by the real estate department.
4. Through more contact and conversation with the landlord, observe whether the landlord understands the situation of the house and the surrounding situation to confirm the authenticity of the landlord.
When renting a house, the renter must register in the community. As long as the tenant takes the landlord to the community to register, the real landlord or the fake landlord can find out immediately.
6. After leaving, you might as well go back to the location of the house, go to the housing management office, the neighborhood Committee and the property management company, ask the neighbors about the house and the owner, and identify the true and false landlord.
Third, how to deal with fake landlord fraud?
Take the contract and a series of evidence to the public security organ to report the case and judge whether it is fraudulent or not, and whether the amount meets the filing standard. After the case is filed, the public security organ is responsible for reconnaissance, and after it is caught, it is transferred to the procuratorate for prosecution. At that time, the victim can make incidental civil compensation according to the specific circumstances. If you sue, you don't need money, but you need a lawyer. If it really comes to the prosecution stage, the victim may demand that the litigation expenses be borne by the defendant. If the case is successful, this part of the expenses will be paid by the defendant.
