’s regional director Dennis Horton said a common scam circulating right now is fake apartment listings created using photos from real listings, but created by people who don’t actually own the property being advertised.
“We have litigated these cases where someone holds him or herself out to be an agent for the landlord and sometimes even has keys, allows a tenant to move in, the tenant will pay rent. And before they know it, they’re getting a notice that the person that they’ve been dealing with is not the agent for the property and then they’re forced out of the property, forced to be evicted in very short order,” Gilbert said.
Horton also advises property owners to sweep listings regularly to make sure their properties aren’t being spoofed online.
