The Renter’s Playbook

Spot the Setup

  • Don’t Wire Money for a Unit You Haven’t Seen.No keys, no verified tour, no payment. Pressure is the trick.
  • Check Who Owns the Property.Compare the landlord’s name with public property records. A copied listing proves nothing.
  • Cheap Rent Can Be Expensive Bait.If the price is far below similar homes nearby, ask why—and verify every answer.

Before You Sign

  • Tour the Actual Unit in Person.Not a “similar” unit. Open cabinets, run water, test locks, and look for pests or moisture.
  • Read the Whole Lease.Check fees, utilities, renewal terms, late charges, guest rules, and how notice must be delivered.
  • Photograph the Move-In Condition.Take dated photos and video before your furniture arrives. Send the condition report in writing.

Know Your Protections

  • Deposits Come With Rules.Limits, receipts, interest, inspection rights, and return deadlines vary across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
  • Required Disclosures Matter.Ask for lead-paint, utility, ownership, fee, and housing-code information that applies to the home.
  • Keep the Paper Trail.Save the ad, lease, receipts, photos, repair requests, and every promise made in writing.

Protect Your Move

Watch Out for Scammers

A convincing ad can still be fake. Slow the process down, verify who you’re dealing with, and don’t let urgency make the decision for you.

Phantom Listings

Some ads copy a real home that isn’t for rent or use an address the owner never listed. Confirm the address on more than one source and verify that the person showing it has the right to rent it.

Bait-and-Switch Units

You ask about one unit, then get pushed toward a different or more expensive place. Tour the exact unit, get the address and price in writing, and walk away if the details keep changing.

Fake Landlords

A scammer may claim they’re too busy, out of town, or unable to show the property. Ask for a verified tour and compare their name with public property records or the licensed property manager.

Money Before a Tour

Pressure to wire money or pay a deposit before seeing the unit is a major warning sign. Don’t send money until you’ve toured the property, verified who controls it, and reviewed the lease.

Stolen Listing Photos

Photos can be copied from an old sale or another rental. Run a reverse-image search and compare the address and details; if the same photos appear for different places, don’t pay or share documents.
