SCAM
May 21, 2020

It's a scam! I'm sure those 5 star reviews are from the scammers. They will ask you for money. Do not fall for it!

It's a total scam
June 30, 2020

They are so lazy that they don't even change the content of the email they send out. See the response i got below.

-===================================================================================
OK, let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Dr. Jan Helleday and I`m 56 years old living in Stockholm, Sweden.
I`m Certified physician, specialist in psychiatry. I have a Specialist clinic for the treatment of mainly depression, anxiety / anxiety syndrome, phobias and stress and fatigue-related problems.

About the apartment, I`m the owner. My daughter Alicia lived in the city for 5 years and I bought it for her to rent it as a rental business for her. Last time was 1 year ago we rented it, since then we renovated it and Alicia returned to Sweden, she is here now. So, we decided to rent it again for the long term. You can register with the apartment address.

Last time when I wanted to rent it no one showed up, so I lost time and money. So, I decided to make the transaction through Renthome Insurance. We will use their system so you can inspect the apartment. You can rent the apartment as long as you need, even for 4-5 years. You will rent the ENTIRE apartment.

Here you can read reviews about the company: https://rentsafely.blogspot.com/2020/05/rent-safely-with-renthome-insurance.html

The deposit I require is for the first month rent + 2 months security deposit = 1,680 (the 2 months security deposit is refundable when you check out).

I have a lot of people interested, so please let me know your answer and I will explain to you the rental process more detailed.

I don't know if everything through this site is a scam - but I got the same letter below as one of the other raters from a woman claiming to be from Sweden and renting an apartment at half the value it would go for in Toronto:

Don't send money, you'll never see it again. This fraud is tied to multiple real estate "rentals" all over the world, none legitimate.
