Fraudulent listings and rental scams

Reporting fraudulent property listings and rental scams to the police is really important. If you think a listing is a scam or have questions, please contact . They can assist you in a variety of rental related questions and concerns. You can reach them by phone 902-940-5368 or .

You may also want to consider . Although they may not be able to offer much help, you can at least ensure it doesn’t happen again.

You may be able to sue if you know who the person is. Scammers are usually good at their job – they don’t make it easy (or sometimes worthwhile) to sue them. However, you could potentially go through the small claims process. Through that, you could sue for an amount up to $16,000.

.

Beware of scams. When renting or leasing online through the internet, beware if the landlord is out of town and tells you they will mail you the keys once they receive a deposit. Make sure they have a representative present whom you could meet and view the place with before you pay anything. If you can not view the place yourself, ask a friend. Otherwise, you should avoid such offers as they could be scams.
