Verify the property and person
- View the property or use someone you trust.
- Confirm the landlord, agent, or caretaker identity.
- Compare the advert photos with the real property.
- Keep written proof of payment and communication.
Read the agreement carefully
Check the rent amount, deposit terms, notice period, bills, repairs, and rules before signing. A clear agreement protects both tenant and owner.
HouseLink tip
If something feels rushed or unclear, pause and ask for more evidence before sending money.
