In the present world, people have more and more opportunities for tourist travel, for business trips and so on. How often, people who come to a foreign city decide to stop not at the hotel, but to rent a private apartment for a day or for a long time.
However, you should never lose vigilance, especially when buying or renting housing. After you like some options, go to a personal visual inspection, only so, and not from words by phone, you can evaluate the living area in which you will spend the next day, months or even years. After you liked the apartment, and you are also satisfied with all the conditions, do not be too lazy to verify the documents of the lessor, his passport and documents confirming his ownership of the apartment, do not be afraid to seem too meticulous.
Agree, it is better to play it safe … Moreover, at present, a whole pack of scammers of different stripes are operating on the real estate market, someone is engaged in renting apartments already rented out, while taking from a monthly prepayment to paying ahead for six months. Beginner strokes rent apartments of parents, of course, without their knowledge, while managing to take from the couple of unfortunate tenants an advance payment for three to four and “wash away”. There are deceivers who literally specialize in visitors. Typically, it is the guests of Russian cities that need housing urgently and right now. Seeing a magic announcement on the pillar with the words “well, very cheap”, people go to the address indicated in the announcement, where they make an advance and go for a walk around the city, for example, until 19:00, it is at this time that they will call them, offer to drive up and evaluate the selected object. But, as a rule, the call will not follow today at seven in the evening, nor tomorrow, and never in general!
