<prompt> Human: Hey everyone, I dont think Im breaking any rules here, but if I am Ill take my inquiry elsewhere.Im filling out a renters application, and this question appears Ive included all typos and grammar errors on purpose:If you are ask to make a down payment to secure the house today and take it off market, How much will you be able to pay? This makes me very suspicious. This is not a rental company its a man that owns a house. Should I just straight up say Im not willing to do that? What should I ask for to make sure I dont get screwed here? Definitely a receipt, but what beyond that?They also asked for a picture of my drivers license. This is a 2br1.5 bath with a large backyard for 800mo and all the utilities are included in the monthly rent,as i am in a governmental programmer that sponsors my utilities on monthly basis and pets are also allowed.This almost sounds too good to be true. He said he just moved to Las Vegas for work and he didnt want to sell the house. He also says You can only drive by the property for now to check the outside and the neighborhood, it is available for a long lease. Get back to me for further discussion on how to get the keys and paperwork of the property to you if I find you suitable and decide to rent the property to you.. I dont know if that means I wont ever be able to check out the interior before I sign a lease or only after were close to that point.I feel these are red flags. But my experience with landlords and new housing is limited. If you have any questions, Ill do my best with them. Please help, offer any advice you can. Thank you!  <response>: You can only drive by the property for now to check the outside and the neighborhood, it is available for a long lease.Thats the scam tipoff, right there.Any landlord will have himself or his agent do a walkthrough. Period, full stop.
