i may soon have secured a waterfront home in vic west. it is unbelievably nice, wood floors, fire place, nice yard, incredible view, dining room, spacious, 2 rooms up, 2 down(lower floor is mostly unfinished, room for jam space.)
it seems almost too good to be true, and something tipped me off that it might be... it is a rather bizzare subletting situation. this lady in california wants me to put money into her account, acting as proxy to the actual landlords. the reason she wants to sublet as opposed to just giving up the place is that there is a toothless-stray cat who has become accustom to receiving wet food served daily on the premises, she wants to ensure someone will continue this. i don't have much problem with that, however i think it would be prudent to confirm with the owners that my rent money is actually getting to them and this is not some sort of a scam..
any thoughts?
anyone want a room in the nicest place you'll ever live?.. rent will be 300-350, i'm thinking the basement rooms should be cheaper.. the house is 1350. put the word out, i should know forsure this weekend.
