Renting properties is a must for many foreigners coming to Singapore. Recently in the newspapers, it reported a rental scam where a Malaysian couple and a Japanese expatriate was conned by a self-proclaim property manager cum landlord of a terrace house in Serangoon Gardens.
Although Singapore is very safe, it does not mean that there are no conmans here. So it is wise to do your due diligence when looking for a place to rent. Before making any payments, it is wise to make sure that you have checked that you are liasing with the right person and all claims are verified.
Ask around those that have rented a flat here, find out the normal practices and also the rental rates of the surrounding areas. All these must be done if you want to prevent yourself from being a victim of a scam.
