Rental Scam

The home we live in was recently listed as “for rent” on a few of the rental websites. However- it’s not for rent (we have a year and a half on our lease). We found out about this when a couple showed up on our doorstep late at night was asking about a tour and if we were moving soon.

The rental listing is using outdated pictures and the advertised rent price literally half of what we actually pay. So it’s clearly not our landlord (we also asked them to confirm and report the listings).

Please be wary of providing an application fee (and personal information!) for a rental home without seeing the house. Also if the listing seems too good to be true then it probably is!

ETA: The rental listing for our home specifically has been removed from all websites I found it on after my landlord and I reported it.
