		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for your note, Travis. That certainly seems like a suspicious listing (it was removed from craigslist). Did you call the number? There isn&#039;t very much for rent in Brooklyn for that price, either, unless it&#039;s a share. Good luck!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is an email I recieved in resp I nse to an inquiry I made about a Brooklyn apartment I saw listed on Craigslist. I recieved two nearly identical responses for two different inquiries I made about two different apartment s in the same neighborhood. Please tell me if this is a scam.      

Hello, I and my darling wife is very happy to inform you that the apartment is still very much available for rent, my intentions and plans is to give out the apartment to a Reliable and Responsible person that would be able to take proper care of the lovely home. It&#039;s an elevator building. It&#039;s indeed a lovely and comfortable home and available to move in as soon as possible, I pray that May the Peace of the almighty Lord be with you for considering my home. Fees needed to move in:Monthly Rent: $780 (Including Utilities)Security / Deposit: $500.1 Bedroom1 BathCentral Air Conditioning APARTMENT FEATURES:Spacious 1 bedroomFlooded with natural lightHardwood floorsKitchen with new appliancesBrand New Cabinets, Electric Cooker &amp; RefrigeratorHeat and Hot waterInternet Access and Cable TV ReadyHigh Speed Internet Access I would like you to know that I am giving out this lovely apartment to you because I have just been assigned by the US Government to lead a Special Force on Counter Terrorism in west Africa, and I am right now in Africa. My duty is at the  international airport here in Africa to search and checkmate any one coming to the United States of America so as to avoid another terrorist attack. My appointment will be for about 5 years. I would like you to fill the below details: ============================================================================================================================================================= RENT APPLICATION FORM FIRST NAME:_________MIDDLE NAME:_________________LAST NAME:__________________SEX:AGE:_____MARITAL STATUS:_____________KIDS___ (YES/NO), HOW MANY:________PRESENT ADDRESS:_______WHY ARE YOU LOOKING TO MOVE?___________HOW LONG DO YOU INTEND STAYING?_______WHEN DO YOU INTEND MOVING IN?________WHAT TYPE OF WORK YOU DO:________________HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN STEADILY EMPLOYED FOR:______________WHAT&#039;S YOUR TYPICAL WEEK DAY IS LIKE?:__________PHONE:_________(CELL)PHONE:_________(WORK)PHONE:__________(HOME)_________________HOW LONG?_______IF YOU HAVE A PET?_____-DO YOU SMOKE?______________DO YOU DRINK?_________DO YOU WORK LATE NIGHT?____HOW SOON CAN YOU HAVE THE DEPOSIT PAYMENT SENT TO ME:___HOW SOON DO YOU WANT TO RECEIVE THE KEYS AND DOCUMENTS OF THE HOUSE: ______________ ============================================================================================================================================================= I will need this information because my family and I won?t be moving back to the apartment whenever we&#039;re back, there is no Registration fee. The Security Deposit would be needed as a Security Bond in order for the keys and paperwork along side with Lease Contract agreement to be sent to you... Electric Bills and water bills have been paid for, so I would also need to send the receipts to you, in case it would be needed. I would like you to know that you are free to contact me at any time. After I receive these details, I would get back to you soonest and then let you know my terms. I hope to hear from you soonest. God Bless You, Mr. Jones &amp; Mrs. Nelly Peterson.CELL PHONE #: +234-708-146-8931.  (011-234-708-146-8931).--- On Tue, 3/19/13, Asaru Khem wrote:From: Asaru Khem Subject: Inquiry about Apartment for rentTo: jonespeterson644@yahoo.comDate: Tuesday, March 19, 2013, 10:54 AMHello!

		<description><![CDATA[My pleasure! 

I would add that it could be a good idea to request the notice in writing, or at least via e-mail, so that you have a record of where your payment is meant to go.

Good luck!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi D., Thank you for your question. Generally, most leases will have a clause that allow the lease to be assigned to a new party. It&#039;s not uncommon for apartment buildings to change ownership, with the new owner assuming the existing leases on the property. They generally cannot change the terms of the lease until it expires, however.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Halfway into my lease, and the management company of the BK row house is switching.  Now I&#039;m being asked to make out and mail my rent checks to a different company and address, which is different from what is on the lease.  Any thoughts about this one?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This guy is out of the country and I cannot get the keys until I transfer the first month a security deposit to him. He says he&#039;s a geologist in the philipines and on the phone he sounds philipino, he also has no agent and says he is trying to find renters himself. The apartment sounds amazing and the 6-7 months he says he&#039;ll be away is perfect for my situation. I want to know how I can avoid loosing all my cash if they try and screw me over the keys, any suggestions? Thanks in advance - Maxwell]]></description>
