The deposit per pet is a one time payment. The house has a fenced in backyard and we do allow pets. The security deposit can be paid in 2 installments if money is tight. Just to give you a little more information about the home, the water, trashĪnd garbage are paid by us. We’ve seen the following reply sent to at least half a dozen Consumerist readers who inquired about apartments, all from different parts of the country: SERIOUSLY, YOU ONLY WANT $800/MONTH FOR ALL THAT?Īs good as it sounded in the listing, the rental property only sounds better when “kydixororaqep” sends his reply.

Just like many things in life, if a rental property sounds too good to be true, it probably is.The scammy listings are often for completely fictional homes and the sole intent of the posting is to either steal your identity or swindle you out of a “fee” for a credit check that will never actually occur.
