How to avoid rental scams in Ulaanbaatar

Common red flags

A price more than 30% below market, a demand for a deposit without meeting in person, and dodging any request to see the title deed are the clearest signs of a scam.

Always verify three things in person: the original property title, the landlord's ID, and the address.

Confirming the lease digitally gives you legal protection if a dispute arises. A platform-mediated transaction adds a layer of assurance.

A deposit paid before you've seen the place in person is very unlikely to come back.
