Always Arrange In-Person Viewings:
To avoid rental scams and potential disappointment, always arrange to view properties in person. Physical inspections provide a firsthand look at the property's condition and help you make informed decisions.
Renting a property can be an exciting venture, but it's essential to tread carefully to avoid potential scams. Aston Students' Union is here to help with their dedicated website, offering a secure platform for your housing search. In this guide, we'll walk you through key steps to avoid rental scams and find a reputable lettings agency.
