Advice on how to rent a house safely
In this article we want to share a little of our experience and offer some tips on how to rent a holiday home for a well earned vacation thus avoiding disappointments and deceptions:
Carefully read the online and/or print ad.
Avoid renting if the house does not have a real online ad reached by a link.
Check that the leaser has a land line phone number of headquarters as well a mobile phone.
If possible avoid mail order payments or money orders. The safest method is a bank transfer or Paypal.
Be wary of super deals that are way under market price as there is almost always a hidden deception.
Avoid websites that don’t specialize in rental properties and that deal with a plethora of various unrelated offers.
Make sure you can locate the property on google maps.
These simple steps are vital to make sure that you are renting with confidence and in case something goes wrong that you can always track down the person who has rented the house and ask for clarification.
The majority of frauds in the renting of a holiday house caused by neglecting to ask and locate the physical address of the property and the bank account where to send the payment. If these two conditions are met will be very easy to go back to your landlord.
