Dear community members ,
I need your suggestions. I am about to make a long term rental contract with a host. The host claims she is currently living in another country A and she is willing rent her place in country B. I am interested to rent her place in country B. In order to carry out these transactions she has refered to Airbnb long term rental option. The deal is , she will send me a link to reserve the property on Airbnb by paying Kaution + one months rent upfront , then she will send the rental agreement + key with Airbnb agent for me to inspect and sign the contract . But the time period between me sending the money and the conclusion of the contract takes about three to four business days. Given this time period I am feeling little on confidence as to how to trust the host ? How to make sure it's not a scam. The Airbnb long term rental says the money will be sent to her within 24hours of check in post reservation , but how does air BNB authenticate that I have gone through the contract or i have actually checked in ? How can make sure it's not a scam . Please suggest.
