But by then… it’s often too late.

🏡 Málaga’s rental market is opening up for long-term tenants now that the busy summer season is over but high demand also attracts scammers.

Here’s how to protect yourself:

✅ DO:
• Verify all property documents and ownership
• Make sure you fully understand the contract before signing
• Ask a relocation professional to review if you’re unsure

❌ DON’T:
• Pay without a written agreement
• Accept strange payment methods
• Send money before you (or someone you trust) has seen the property

Stay cautious, stay informed and enjoy a smooth move to Málaga!
