Housing & Rental Scams (StreetEasy, Furnished Finder)

Many rental scams have existed in the past, but many of them continue to take place and are on the rise in more recent times. In this post, we focus on rental scams and how to avoid them upon your apartment search. Elevate Rentals utilizes secure payment platforms like Stripe (www.stripe.com} and "Keycheck" to collect rent/booking payments when booking our listings directly. You can also pay through the booking websites where you see the listing originally. We always speak with our customers, when necessary, over the phone by call/text/ or video chat and we do virtual showings and in-person showings if it's a long-term stay (12+ Months). Check out and review these articles to have a better idea of what things to look out for when looking for your next rental.
