One man woke to find 12 people in his property after the 'landlord' had given them all keys to move in on the same day

Several bodies are coming together to raise awareness of rental scams ahead of the new academic year.

He told him his brother was also coming to Ireland from Brazil, and this man suggested he move to a larger property on the River Liffey for €3,000 a month. Only through the help of his Irish employer - who provided him with a short-term hotel room to stay in and a loan which he repaid - did he and his partner manage to successfully rent another studio and remain in Ireland.False websites are reportedly becoming an increasingly common platform for scams, as well as websites that appear as replicas of real letting platforms such as Daft.ie and Airbnb.
