Renting Safety Guidelines
Your safety is our top priority. Review these tips to enjoy a secure renting experience.
Verify the Landlord Identity
Look for listings that carry the green 'Verified' badge. This ensures the owner has undergone biometric/NIC identity verification checks.
Inspect Properties in Person
Never send deposits or reservation fees without physically visiting the property. Check water flow, electricity meters, locks, and room ventilation.
Read the Lease Agreement Carefully
Ensure the key terms—monthly rent, security deposit refund terms, notice periods, and utility bill breakdown—are clearly documented.
Avoid Cash-Only Untraceable Payments
Prefer bank transfers or digital receipts. A digital trail provides proof of payment in the event of a contractual dispute.
Protect Personal Information
Do not share photos of your bank cards or sensitive credentials with anyone during chat conversations.
Report Suspicious Listings Immediately
If an owner demands an urgent deposit without showing the room, report the listing immediately using our platform tools.
