It's easy to get scammed online when looking for a home rental. There are a few key red flags you should know. For example, if an owner does not want to meet you before you move into their home.
Also, when an owner says you can move in before you see their home, they are not legit. Do not pay a deposit until you have signed the lease. If the rent price is too good to be true, then chances are it's fake. And if the owner does not ask you for a background check, then the listing is a scam.
