⚠️ Beware – Use Your Judgment

It is in the user's best interest to exercise sound judgment when assessing the authenticity of properties and their owners. Claims made online may not always be true. Users are advised to independently verify these claims. To help, we’ve compiled a checklist to reduce the risk of fraud. Please go through it before renting a home or office space.

 

How to Avoid Real Estate Fraud?

 

  1. Do not send money online to a 'supposed landlord/owner' using UPI, net banking, debit/credit cards, etc. if you have not met them personally.
  2. We do not recommend paying any property visit charges, gate pass charges, booking amount etc. over a call.
  3. In case a broker is showing you the property, make sure that you meet the owner or have a web session with him.
  4. Do not handover any part of the consideration/rent to the broker.
  5. Visit the property personally to check the interior and exterior condition; conduct due diligence.
  6. Opt for properties that have at least 3-4 clear photos of bedrooms, bath and kitchen area.
  7. Talk to some neighbours and make sure that the one who is showing you the property is the actual owner

 

For a Tenant

  1. Visit the accommodation/property and meet the landlord.
  2. We strongly recommend to NEVER PAY any property visit charges, gate pass charges, booking amount, etc. for visiting a property.
  3. Check all the rooms, including the kitchen and bath area for plumbing problems, such as fixture leaks and seepages, clogged drains and pipelines.
  4. Find out about the security deposit in a particular area before making the payment. Unscrupulous individuals may ask for unjustified amounts of money.
  5. Ascertain access, safety and security.
  6. Ascertain all areas in standardized units.
