4) Age ?

5) Occupation ?

6) Rent & Deposit require before move in, do you agree ?

8) When do you intend to move in ?

9) Do you have a pet ?

10) Do you smoke ?

11) How long do you want to stay?

12) Occupant Picture?

Answered all except picture.

Person now has this information about me and that is enough information to conduct a fraudulent act.

Person did not get back to me when I asked for their names and more pictures of the property.

He states he lives in Colorado and will be for 2-3 and wants someone to pretty much maintain the property like it was my own. And that once him and his wife make a "final decision" if the want you as a tenant or not, they would mail the keys with legal documents??? What? And they want me to send a $700 security deposit to keep a hold on the property?? No way.
