How to Avoid Rental Scams When Searching for Accommodation

Most rental scams follow the same pattern. Watch for these warning signs.

• Never pay a deposit or rent before you have viewed the property in person.
• Be suspicious of prices far below similar homes nearby.
• Be wary of anyone who is abroad, cannot meet, or pressures you to pay quickly.
• Keep conversations on the platform and pay by traceable methods, always asking for a receipt.
• Report suspicious adverts using the Report button so our team can review them.
