Scam Awareness for Landlords
Rental scams don’t just target students—landlords can also be at risk. Be cautious and informed when communicating with potential tenants.
Common Scams:
- A prospective tenant offers to pay several months’ rent in advance using a cheque or money order, then asks you to refund part of the amount before the funds clear. The cheque later bounces
- You’re contacted by someone posing as a student abroad who wants to secure a rental before arrival, often pushing to send money quickly
Tips to Protect Yourself:
- Never refund money from a cheque or payment that hasn’t fully cleared
- Avoid accepting overpayments under any circumstances
- Do not release personal details or banking information via email
- Be cautious of tenants unwilling to speak by phone or video chat
- Require a signed lease and verify the identity of the tenant before financial exchanges
If you suspect a scam:
- Contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or call 1-888-495-8501
- Report it to your local police
