Rental Safety & Fraud Prevention
Follow these essential safety rules to inspect rental spaces safely, avoid advance-deposit scams, and protect your money.
1. Inspect in Person
Always visit the apartment, flat, or vehicle in person. Meet the property owner or representative physically before agreeing to rental terms.
2. Never Pay in Advance
Do not send booking money via bKash, Nagad, or bank transfer before inspecting the property and signing a written tenancy agreement.
3. Keep Data Private
Never share your OTP codes, account passwords, or financial PINs. Varadibo staff will never ask for your passwords or transaction PINs.
Common Rental Warning Signs
Be vigilant if you encounter any of the following situations:
Urgent Advance Demands
Claims that "many other renters are waiting" and pressure to transfer token money immediately via mobile banking.
Owner "Unavailable" for In-Person Visit
Excuses like being out of the city or overseas, promising to courier keys only after receiving money.
Unrealistically Low Rent Prices
Prime luxury apartments listed at a fraction of standard market rates used as bait for token money fraud.
Subletting Without Landlord Consent
Tenants renting out rooms without building owner permission. Always confirm the primary owner is aware.
