Don't be left out! INTERNET SCAM/FRAUD ALERTThe police department has confirmed a number of complaints regarding a scam that targets students and landlords via email to rent property. Please be cautious of potential renters and subleasees who express a desire to rent your property sight-unseen. NEVER issue refunds for overpayment on security deposits, first month's rent, or utilities until you are certain the check you receive has cleared (international checks take longer than domestic). If you suspect Internet fraud, contact the police department. For more information on this and other types of Internet fraud, please visit www.firstgov.gov DISCLAIMERInclusion of any property or rental unit in the Housing Guide and/or on the web site maintained by Off Campus Life,Off Campus Partners, LLC does not constitute, and shall not be construed or reported as (1) an endorsement or approval by James Madison University (JMU) or Off Campus Partners (OCP) of the landlord, its properties, or its business practices, or (2) a warranty or representation by JMU or OCP as to the quality, safety or other features of such property and/or its owners or management agent(s).

Off Campus Life encourages everyone to consider the condition of the apartment or house. Never sign a lease without first inspecting the facility. Check for safety and security (window and door locks, exterior lighting, smoke detectors, peep holes, chains, etc.) and overall condition of the facility. Ask neighbors and previous renters if they have had any problems with the facility or landlord. Inspect the facility and the grounds. Is it kept up and clean? Are dumpsters emptied regularly? Who will take care of the yard work? Trash disposal? How is parking handled, and is there enough for each resident?
