Thanks for the interest in my 2bedroom flat am renting the whole flat, More so when will you be needing this flat? because Now that I am here in London, United kingdom For missionary work... Meanwhile, the issue is that i have been having problems with time wasters in regards of keeping to time and appointment to sort out things...after all there promises to meet up for me to show them around and sort out things,they will not show up...and this is really time wasting because i am presently in London, United kingdom on a missionary work, Rent already includes utilities.. It has a Central Air and Heat,refrigerator,dishwasher,dryer,oven,internet,Cable TV,Air conditioner.....Utilities include: power, water,sewer and trash..Your monthly rent already covers utilities so you do not have to pay extra charges for that.. Please note that the deposit made is fully refundable should in case you finally gain entrance to the house after receiving the keys and documents and feel unsatisfied or uncomfortable with the interior,but i am giving you a benefit of doubt that you will love everything about this lovely home.

The neighborhood is safe and i guess you have heard much about this area before,so its safe, clean area. ............. Yes pets are allowed.

How long do you intend to stay in my flat ?....attached is the tenancy form for you to fill and have it send back to me so that i can arrange on how to get you approved from the city council.

hope to read back from you soon.

God Bless You..............

Regards.

Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money again.

If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.
