Scranton Woman Charged for Renting Out Nonexistent Apartments

SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY — A woman in Scranton is facing felony charges after allegedly renting out apartments she did not own. This troubling case has raised significant concerns among local renters about the potential for scams in the housing market.

Authorities reported that the woman was advertising rental properties and collecting deposits from unsuspecting tenants. Many victims were led to believe they had secured a legitimate rental agreement, only to find out later that the properties were not hers to lease. This incident has sparked a wave of anxiety among residents, prompting discussions on how to protect oneself from similar fraudulent schemes.

Local law enforcement is urging renters to conduct thorough research before signing any agreements or making payments. They recommend verifying property ownership through public records, meeting landlords in person, and being wary of deals that seem too good to be true. As the investigation continues, officials emphasize the importance of vigilance in the rental market to avoid falling victim to scams.
