We are always warning each other to beware of scams, but I’ve never actually come close to one. The truth is, I have probably been duped many times, and simply never realized it…
I recently read a blog article which stated approximately 2/3rds of all “robberies” occur in the form of scams — everything from fake charities to “not-quite-what-you-expected” Internet purchases.
Sounds like an urban myth to me, but in this day and age, who knows? Which is why the article below is worth reading. It is a verifiable scam, one which occurs regularly all over the world. Losses in our single industry are potentially astronomic!
This writer lost $565.00 in a single transaction. Read on to find out how and why… Then realize the next time, it could be you.
I was stressed, rushing to make last-minute lodging arrangements for a three-stop writing trip to Europe, when it appeared on Craigslist: the perfect apartment for my first stop in London. A tiny studio in Notting Hill for just £45, or $73, a night.
I hadn’t been in London since I was a boy, so I shot the link around to some friends to ask about the location. Great neighborhood, they said. Take it.

What a great article — clauses in leases that could work against renters. We know crooked clauses (and crooked landlords) exist, but have never seen them listed so accurately. If you are planning to sign a lease any time soon, this is a must-read. Renters, protect yourselves! Print this article for reference when negotiating your next new lease. You’ll be glad you did!
When the landlord hands a new tenant a lease, it’s only the beginning of a negotiation. Tenants need to know which clauses to strike – and which are illegal – before signing, or things could get costly later.

More and more in today’s overwhelming Information Age, experts recommend using a leasing professional when searching for an apartment/home/condo to rent (see article below).
With so much information out there (some truthful, some not so truthful), it is wise to use a rental expert — the same way you would use a sales expert to buy a house. Let them narrow down your options, and you can make your decision with a clear head.
Leasing agents are paid by the landlords from their marketing budgets, so their services are usually free to the renter. So quit clicking through page after page of potential rentals, and call your local rental expert. You’ll be glad you did!
Apartment hunting can be tough. Hiring an agent might be wise when looking for an apartment. An agent can help you find what you are looking for and quite often, find you deals that you didn’t know where available.

St. Louis, with its plethora of privately-owned apartment rentals in and around the city, has its share of bad landlords. This is a great article on how to spot landlord trouble before it begins. Quick read!
A big city like Chicago is riddled with bad apartment landlords. So before you sign below the dotted line, it’s important that you’re certain of not taking over a place that’s owned by a heartless, rotten, scamming property owner who’s out to victimize unsuspecting renters. You might like the apartment or condo, but if you’re going to have to deal with a landlord who’s going to take advantage of you, then it’s not worth it.
