Online Rental Safety Guide

Rental Search Safety Tips

While most renters tell us about the ease and convenience of finding a new property using Easytolet.in, occasionally we hear about unusual or suspicious interactions with property owners who have listed rentals on our site. For this reason, we have compiled the following list of tips for a safer online rental experience.

If it seems "too good to be true," it probably is. Does the monthly rent for the property seem unusually low? Investigate similar properties in your desired area to determine the approximate rent you should expect to pay. Trust your instincts and walk away from any suspicious rental situations.

Check out who you're dealing with online. Make sure to meet your prospective landlord or agent in person before deciding to rent a property.

Avoid unusual forms of payment. Never use a wire transfer service, such as Western Union or MoneyGram, or an online escrow service when sending money (such as a down payment or security deposit) for the property.

Never rent a property "sight unseen." Before sending or paying any money (including by cashier's check), ensure that the property condition, size, features and amenities match what was described in the online listing by visiting the place yourself or by asking a friend to visit for you.

Easytolet.in does not handle lease transactions or money transfers. Do not do business with anyone who promises that Easytolet.in is handling any part of the actual rent / lease transaction, including payment protection, escrow services or "satisfaction guarantees" of any kind.

Where to Report Online Fraud

If you witness or become a victim of online fraud, report the incident to local law enforcement authorities immediately.
