Online Tool To Help Tenants Avoid Rental Scams
September 10, 2009 at 5:41 pm | Posted in Tips to Avoid Scams | Leave a CommentTags: rental scam tips
According to RealEstateConsumerNews, there is a new online tool that helps tenants avoid rental scams.
I checked out the rental scam detection quiz and was impressed. It takes just a few minutes to answer the 9 questions the quiz presents and it then gives you what it has calculated of the chances of the rental you are looking at as being a scam. Based on the knowledge I have obtained from researching rental scams for blogs, I found the questions in this quiz to make a lot of sense and be very relevant. In addition, I found the explanations the quiz gives for each question to be very informative. I would highly recommend that you use this tool before handing your deposit money to a landlord or property manager.
