Ciao a tutti,
Sono uno studente internazionale, sono ancora abbastanza nuovo in Germania e attualmente sto cercando un appartamento. Ho trovato un annuncio su Kleinanzeigen, ma c’è qualcosa che non va. A peggiorare le cose, Kleinanzeigen mi avverte addirittura di una potenziale truffa nella chat.
La persona mi ha detto che posso visitare l’appartamento oggi e mi ha dato l’orario e il numero civico. Hanno detto che non sarebbero venuti loro stessi ma che invece avrei incontrato l’attuale inquilino. Mi hanno anche chiesto di far sapere dopo la visita se l’appartamento va bene per me. Finora non hanno chiesto soldi o cose strane, ma ho letto che le truffe spesso coinvolgono i proprietari che evitano incontri di persona o annunci falsi.
Non so se fidarmi o se in Germania è normale che i proprietari non si presentino. Qualcun altro ha sperimentato qualcosa di simile? Dovrei essere cauto o è proprio così che funzionano le cose a volte?

Assuming they arranged this with the current tenant, that seems fine and normal. Who better to show you a still occupied flat than the person who’s living in it. You’ll probably even get a more honest view of the circumstances from the tenant than the owner.
So, while there may be other factors to judge by concerning scam or not, this part doesn’t worry me tbh.
They are probably a current tenant themselves and wan’t to move out. It’s not uncommon that tenants who are leaving aren’t present at castings for new tenants.
Doesn’t feel like a scam, therefore.
Not necessarily scam.
Some landlords are just regular people with a day job. If they have trust in their current tenants, they may handle it this way.
Doesn’t look suspicious to me SO FAR. The warning is issued by Kleinanzeigen automatically as soon as there is a phone number in there.
IMO if it feels like a scam it probably is one.
But I don’t think you would lose anything if you go to the viewing appointment and even ask the current tenant about the landlord. That way you can be sure.
Just so you know, everytime someone send you a phone number or an email-adresse in kleinanzeigen, it sends you this scam-warning.
Maybe not, sometimes the Vermieter would also advertise for or alongside the Mieter themself. Plus, you’re going to see the place in person, how could it be a scam? Kleinanzeigen would flag anything with phone number or IBAN as a scam as they want you to use their payment system.
I’m also planning to move out and my Vermieter also does the same thing, I’m handling the viewings, and when it’s confirmed that I have found a Nachmieter, I’d contact my Vermieter, so they can meet.
That might be okay- got my apartment the same way.
The current renter will show it to you and you can think about It.
If the landlord wants any money before you signed the contract, take care.
Looks fine so far.
We recently moved and to end our contract without 3 months notice we found new tenants for the landlord. So we created the advertisement and showed apartment to potential renters. landlord approved one of the candidates and we moved out, the new one moved in.
