From the Commissioner: Fake listings, real losses

“I know how it feels to be homeless, I won’t do anything bad to you.”

“You need to show commitment to this property and that you’re honest.”

“The rent is lower than usual because what we are really after is someone perfect like you to look after our property.”

These are real-life examples of grooming, gas lighting and manipulation. The techniques scammers use to build trust and control before they steal your money through a rental scam.

Commissioner's Blog: Living in a caravan park? Here’s what you need to know about rent and electricity

Residential park living is unique. The parks can provide a location and facilities you may not normally be able to afford to buy and you may feel safer in a community living close to others.

Residential parks provide sites upon which relocatable homes are placed as well as shared facilities for use by tenants. Long-stay tenants either rent a home and a site, or rent a site only and own the home on the site. The home may be a caravan, cabin, park home or motor home. The parks can be mixed use with holiday-makers or they can be dedicated to long-stay.
