⚠ Top rental scam warning signs in Milan:

  • Price too low for the area
  • Landlord says they are abroad
  • They ask for money before showing the apartment
  • Pressure to pay immediately
  • Payment requested to a foreign bank account

If you are planning to move to Italy, here is how to avoid rental scams in Milan.

Two Erasmus students from Portugal share their real experience after being scammed while looking for an apartment in Milan.
Their story is unfortunately not unusual, especially for international students searching from abroad.

They started looking for an apartment about three months before moving to Milan.
After some time, they found what seemed to be the perfect solution: a nice two-bedroom apartment, a great location and a very attractive price.

Everything looked legitimate. There was even a lawyer involved, so the whole process seemed safe and professional.
They signed the contract and transferred the deposit plus the first month’s rent.

After the payment, the “landlord” stopped replying.

Stories like this are more common than you might think.
If you want to avoid rental scams in Milan, you need to know exactly what to look for and what to avoid.

How to avoid rental scams in Milan

  • If the price or the location looks too good to be true, be very careful.
  • If the landlord says they are abroad and cannot meet you, it is a major red flag.
  • If they promise to send keys after payment, do not trust it.
  • Never send money to a bank account outside Italy.
  • If they pressure you to pay quickly, stop and think carefully.
  • Even well-known platforms can contain scams, because listings are not always verified.
  • PayPal is generally safer than a bank transfer.
  • If you cannot visit, ask someone to verify the apartment in Milan.

At the end of the video, the students explain that many of their friends had similar problems:
some were scammed, while others had to move again after arriving in Milan.

Take your time, verify everything, and don’t rush into payments.
