Rental Scam Alert
Rental scams are real, so we caution our students to make informed decisions about where to rent. Follow these five steps to protect yourself from rental scams:
- Never Deal in Cash - Never pay with case, or hard-to-race equivalents such as bitcoin because it is impossible to track.
- Never rent without seeing the property - visit in-person or have someone you trust see the property before signing a lease or making a payment.
- Speak to current tenants - currently occupied units are far less likely to be fraudulent.
- Demand a written lease - a written lease that includes the landlord's name, helps to prevent fraud and outlines the rights and responsibilities of both the tenant and the landlord.
- Be careful of rental rates that are too good to be true - do basic research on current rental prices in the area.
