I saw an ad for a house for rent on my local craigslist, and sent a brief 'I'm interested' response. Ignoring all the religious stuff, this seems like a 'too good to be true' response, so I'm assuming it is. On the off-chance it is legit, what can I do to ensure this person actually owns the house in question, and that it isn't just an odd scam?
Response below.
Hello, Thanks for your interest and inquiries about my house. Yes the house is still available for rent and we are looking for a responsible person/family to occupy and maintain the house now that we are not around. Myself and my wife just traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina for a program called SERVING IN MISSION (SIM), you can view the link for more info: ( http://ift.tt/1qrUSoY ). We will be away for 3 to 4 years or more that is why I have made up my mind to put up my house for rent to whom ever that will take good care of it. However, my initial plan was to sell the house but it was not successful because the Realtor raised the price which made it difficult for me to sell before leaving the States so never mind if you see the for sale sign in front of the house, It has already been taken off the market as for sale so there is no need to contact any Realtor. I want you to understand that I spent a lot on my property that you have requested to rent, so I will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this house and would want you to treat it as your own because cleanliness they say is next to Godliness. It is not all about the money to be paid on rent or spent; it is all about a good maintenance culture which I want you to adopt on the property. I want you to keep it tidy all the time so that I would be full of smiles whenever I come and above all, a good, strong and tight relationship between us when I come for a check up. Please one more thing, I wouldn't like to have any benefit of trust in you because I want to stand in your words that the property would be well taken care of all the time. I believe you have seen how lovely it is if from only the pictures you saw in my posting compare to the 100% comfort to be derived from it as you are an occupant. FEATURES : Laundry, Electric Range, Electric Heat, Master Bedroom, Playground, Car Park. AMENITIES: Air Conditioning, Patio/Party Deck, Cable TV, Ceiling Fans, 24 hours Internet service, Dishwasher, Fireplace, Garbage Disposal, Microwave, security alarm, Pets Friendly, Refrigerator, Washer / Dryer.
Rental Price: $700 per month and security Deposit is $700 (Security Deposit is Refundable) Utilities included in monthly rent. Pets are Welcome. Here is the address to the house: (Address was here)
