Renters have been warned of fake property listing scams using forged Government documents to appear legitimate.
The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage said it has become aware of a number of false rental property listings.
It said potential renters have reported being given an application by an individual before being asked to complete a ‘Rental Application’ form or a Residential Tenancy Agreement with what purports to contain a Departmental letterhead and logo and a fake gov.ie email address.
