Tenants must know! Expose common rental scams

With the increasingly expensive housing prices, many people began to choose to rent. Remember, before renting a house, you must first understand some traps of renting a house to avoid being deceived when renting a house. Let's reveal the common rental scams for everyone, and be sure to pay attention when renting a house.

Scam 1: publishing ultra-low-priced housing to defraud WeChat attention

Many rental publishing websites have many ultra-low-priced houses, and the publisher has no phone number, just leaving a micro-signal. After adding friends, I found out that these are all WeChat businesses. As soon as I added a friend, I sent a lot of promotional information. When asking about the housing, the other party said that it had been rented out, and then began to sell products.

Generally, the house is only rented to women. There is no phone or the phone can't get through. You need to contact WeChat. If it meets the above three items, it can basically be judged as false rental information. Although it is not a direct scam, it attracts renters to pay attention to micro-signals through fake housing to achieve the commercial purpose behind it.

Scam 2, falsely reporting high-quality housing to attract renters

The intermediary will release some houses with good decoration and low price. If a renter contacts the house, he will say that the house has been rented out. The other party just signed the contract, and now there is only another one that is slightly more expensive. Ask if you want to rent it.

It is understood that there are many similar situations, accounting for almost one-third of the website rental information. In order to attract the attention of renters, real estate agents publish houses with low prices and good conditions, which is very attractive. But when the renter calls for advice, he will be told that the house has been rented out and enthusiastically recommend the rest.

Fraudulent apartment 3 1 has been rented many times.

While browsing the website, Xiao Li saw a suite in Xi 'an Coal Community in the east section of South Second Ring Road. The house is good, with two bedrooms and one living room, medium decoration, complete furniture and reasonable price. Xiao Li and her roommate paid 9800 yuan for the room at one time. But when they moved in the afternoon, they found another couple moved in this house. The other party claimed that they rented the house. It is obvious that my roommate and I rented the house. How can a couple move in? The other party thinks things are very strange. Xiao Li said that when they called the landlord separately, the phone had stopped, and then the four had to report to the Xiying Road police station in their jurisdiction. When the police arrived, they contacted the landlord of the house. It turned out that it was not the real landlord who rented the house for Xiao Li and the four of them, but a second landlord.

Scam 4: Pay the rent in advance?

Recently, Song Ming (pseudonym), who is eager to rent a house, looked for a house online and saw a set of housing information with good location, convenient transportation and relatively affordable prices. The landlord rented it directly. The landlord said that he hoped to find a tenant to look after the house, but because he was away from home, he was worried about making a trip in vain and asked Song Ming to pay half a month's rent first to show his sincerity. At the same time, the landlord also sent photos of ID cards and real estate licenses. Song Ming relaxed his vigilance and paid half a month's rent 1500 yuan. When signing the contract, the landlord said that his family was hospitalized and could not return to Guangzhou, so he proposed to either refund the rent to Song Ming or call the landlord for three months, and the landlord would send the contract, key and access card by courier. Later, Song Ming felt something was wrong and asked for a half-month rent refund. The landlord said yes. After a long time, Song Ming didn't receive the money, and then called the landlord to turn it off before he really realized that he had been cheated.
