Before You Pay

Quick safety checks for renters

Inspect first

Visit the property in person or send someone you trust before committing.

Confirm costs

Check the exact rent, deposit, broker fee, utilities and payment terms.

Verify authority

Confirm the person showing the property is authorised to rent it.

Avoid rushed payments

Do not pay before viewing, checking documents and signing properly.

Keep records

Save written agreements, receipts, messages and payment confirmations.

Watch for red flags

Be careful with unusually low rent, pressure tactics or unknown accounts.

Rental Reminder

Checked listings still need your own checks

RentVerified uses reasonable review steps to improve listing clarity and freshness. Treat checked listings as a better starting point, not a replacement for your own due diligence.
