Talk on Renting Off-Campus Apartments
Thank you for joining the online 'Talk on Renting Off-Campus Apartments 2026' on 6 May 2026! Zoom recording is now available!
Beware of Rental Scams
Fraudsters pose as landlords, post fake listings, and lure renters into email/ phone contact. They redirect victims to deceptive ‘rental platforms’ to trick them into paying deposits and surrendering credit card details. Watch the 2-min anti-scam video (in Chinese) from Anti-Deception Coordination Centre (ADCC) to learn more.

Stay smart, stay alert, and protect yourself from rental scams.
