Rental and listing safety
- Verify the address, owner or authorized manager, and contact method independently.
- Do not wire money, buy gift cards, or pay before you can verify the unit and written agreement.
- Compare the same address across portals for copied photos, conflicting prices, and inconsistent contacts.
- Owners and advertisers must follow fair-housing, advertising, screening, disclosure, and local registration requirements.
