Could this be a great opportunity? NO of course not, no landlord puts his property on the market for an amount that is approximately 50% below average.

Make a transfer.

Never transfer money in good faith before you have signed a valid contract. Even though there has been regular contact, this does not mean that the landlord is reliable. Everyone can answer questions and send photos from behind the computer. As soon as nobody can be present during a viewing because he or she happens to be abroad, a bell should ring. Even when you are asked to send money through payment companies such as Western Union or Moneygram, there is always a scam. Be alert and do not let money transfer!

The '' owner '' does have a lot of properties for rent on the internet or social media.

Most scammers try to find as many potential victims as possible, which is why they often try to find their way on multiple sites or Facebook pages. A simple way to screen whether a landlord is reliable is to enter his or her name on Google. If many search results come up in which the landlord also offers other properties for rent, then it is often a scammer.

In short : Pay attention, do not pay anything before you have signed a valid contract and make sure you know who the owner is. The houses on www.woningdelersclub.nl are exclusively from reliable landlords who have been screened. That is why you are sure that you will not encounter a scam. Click here and create an account now!
