  I'm very disappointed my State/local assessora office isn't %100 assured the landlord verify is correct. This is so unfair to be scammed so easily now days. I paid a application fee via PayPal and fill very uncomfortable this is so easy to be scammed.

  I am sorry to hear you are not able to verify your landlord. Please be careful making paypal payments to an indiviual, our service does not accept paypal payments. Verifying a landlord is an important step to ensure that you are renting a property from a legitimate and reliable person or company. Here are some steps you can take to verify a landlord's credentials:

  
  

  Ask for identification: Request the landlord's full name and contact information. This should include their phone number, email address, and physical address.
  
  Check property ownership records: In many countries, property ownership records are publicly available. You can check with the local government office or online databases to verify if the landlord's name matches the property owner's information.
  
  Research the property: Look up the property address online to find out if it matches the details provided by the landlord. Scammers may try to pose as the owner of a property they do not own.
  
  Read the lease agreement: Carefully review the lease agreement provided by the landlord. Ensure that it includes essential details such as the landlord's name, contact information, and the property's legal address.
  
  Contact previous tenants: If possible, try to speak with previous tenants of the property to get insights into their experience with the landlord. They may provide valuable information about the landlord's behavior and responsiveness.
  
  Check online reviews: Look for reviews of the landlord or property management company online. Websites like ******* Yelp, or social media platforms might have feedback from past tenants.
  
  Verify business registration: If you are dealing with a property management company, check if it is registered and licensed with the appropriate local authorities.
  
  Meet in person: Whenever possible, arrange a face-to-face meeting with the landlord. Meeting them in person can help you assess their credibility and professionalism.
  
  Trust your instincts: If something feels off or suspicious during the verification process, it's essential to trust your gut feeling. If you have doubts about the landlord's legitimacy, it may be best to look for another rental opportunity.
  
  Remember, a legitimate landlord will typically have no problem providing you with the necessary information to verify their identity. Being cautious and thorough in your verification process can help you avoid rental scams and ensure a smoother rental experience.

  
  

  I hope this helps. ***************************
