Beware of scams
While most housing providers are trustworthy, housing scams can happen. As part of your housing search, be alert to the common signs of a scam.
Other helpful resources for your housing search include social media groups or student forums specific to international students in Vancouver.
You can learn more about fraud and scams from the Government of Canada and the Province of BC. If you think you have been a victim of fraud in Vancouver, contact the Vancouver Police Department or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
- Beware of claims that the landlord is “out of the country” and that payments must be issued to them in advance
- Do not share personal information, such as your SIN or bank details, before signing a rental agreement
- Always view the property in person or through a virtual tour attended by someone you trust
