Whenever you receive a property that has an interest for you, you can take the matter to contacting the owner. This is possible by emailing through the given link in the ad or else you can phone the owner, provided a phone number is given. Sometimes, people prefer to leave their phone number on the ad and you can contact them to inquire about the property even if you do not have to book immediately.

Since you know the conditions on which you are looking a property for, you can discuss it with the property owner at the time of inquiring about the property details. This includes the financial aspect and the number of days you want to rent the property for.

If you decide to book the property there and then, and the owner asks you for making an upfront payment of any amount, make sure you choose a secure method of payment. Do not make payments through some dodgy websites, as it can be fraud. Insist on paying through the method, which you think is more secure, or otherwise, ask to pay the money at the time you collect keys for the property.
