This is a great article on scams perpetrated against tenants. In California a property management company (and property manager) must be licensed by the department of Real Estate. Its always a good idea to check them out before you give them money. They must keep licenses on file, or you can check online at the Department’s website. Scams are plentiful on Craigslist, especially when they want cash before giving you the address or showing the property.
