1View the property in person
Never pay a deposit for a property you have not visited. Confirm the address, condition of rooms, water supply, security, and neighbours.
2Confirm who you are paying
Ask for identification and proof that the person can rent out the property. If an agent is involved, confirm they represent the owner.
NestZim connects you with listers — rental agreements and deposits are between you and the landlord or agent, not NestZim.
3Get terms in writing
Request a written lease or tenancy agreement covering rent amount, deposit, notice period, and maintenance responsibilities before making any payment.
