Re: Prevent Fraud when Renting (by William P.):

I usually want all monies up front, I did have one where they wanted to give 1/2 up front. After speaking with them on the phone I went that with the second half paid in 30 days. No second half, NO return. I rent with in a graduated time frame down to 30 days before occupancy. At 30 days I can convert to points. Realizing that events change and plans also, most generally if they would want to cancel with in 30 days of full payment, I give half back. As stated previously 30 days or less -0- money returned. Pay-pal charges a 3% charge for there usage. I don't use pay-pal for that reason. I ask for a bank check, will take a personal check only on the condition that it must, clear allowing 7 to 10 days. Never putting in the renters name until I have all monies in my account.
