SDAR Warns Against Rental Fraud

There's a new tool to fight the rise of real estate and rental fraud in San Diego.

At a press conference Friday, the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR) announced they are now giving out stickers for the windows of vacant homes that will make it clear to potential buyers that the home is not for rent.

Leslie Kilpatrick, president of SDAR, says rental scams are all too common.

"We've all heard the stories. A vacant, for-sale home is fraudulently advertised online for rent for an incredibly low price," Kilpatrick said.

That's red flag number one: offering a home for rent at a below market price using an online site like Craigslist. The potential victim then calls the number and is instructed to drive by the house to see if they like it.
