There was no address listed, so I emailed the person. This was the response:
Thank you for your interest in our home for rent.
The home we have that's currently vacant today is a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath with garage in an amazing neighborhood. The property has a washing machine and dryer.
There have not been any pets in the home so there are no smells, stains or odors. The home is pet friendly with no breed restrictions, we do not charge a fee or require a deposit but if your pet damages the property you are responsible for repairs.
To rent our property we require the following:
1. A valid Driver's License or Photo ID
2. The first months rent
3. Background check for each applicant
4. Lease Agreement (month to month, 6 months or 1 year), I'll bring this to the viewing
You can complete the background check online using Rental Verified: link.
This is an affordable way for me to screen applicants based on prior rental history and job history. If you have a criminal record or bad tenant history, I'm flexible and I'll help you out.
This property rents quickly, contact me when you have your background check and are ready to schedule a viewing. It's in a .pdf, you can print it and bring to the viewing or email it to me.
What is the best contact number for you? Are you available tomorrow?
I will be available tomorrow, Saturday morning.
This was an immediate RED FLAG! They were requiring a background check from some obscure website (which cost $39.99) before disclosing the property address.
