WARNING: FLAT & VILLA RENTING
I JUST WANT TO WARN TENANTS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR FLATS OR VILLAS.
YOU WILL USUALLY TALK TO AGENTS WHO ASK FOR COMMISSIONS!!!
ALSO THINK ABOUT PAYING 1 TO 2 YEARS ADVANCE IN CASH BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE NO SECURITY FOR THIS. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL PROOF, INVOICES, OR AGENT BACKGROUND BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON THESE ARRANGEMENTS.
I HAVE HEARD OF SOME ISSUES THAT ONE TENANT PAID FOR 1 YEAR FULL CASH AND NEVER HEARD FROM THE AGENT AGAIN. THEY WILL ISSUE RECEIPT OF PAYMENT BUT YOU ARE NOT SURE IF THIS IS OFFICIAL.
PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN DEALING WITH THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE.
HOW I WISH LANDOWNERS CAN BE DIRECTLY COMMUNICATED FOR BETTER RENT ARRANGEMENTS.
REGARDS,
CONCERNED PERSON
Every body should take care if this commission also. the most important point for agent is to get his mony regardless you like the flat or not, well maintained or not.
It happens to me before 8 months, after we agreed even with owner wher he asked me to bring 12 cheques the next day, accordinghly i paid commission of one month to the agent.
Next day i went to the owner with cheques to finalise the issue and I was surprised that the owner asked me one payment for the year. and deal was not made.
Till now I am looking for the salesman (Agent), he got his money the second day of getting my cheque.
