The 4-Step Chennai Rents Verification Protocol
The listing author’s phone number is verified via automated SMS OTP. Government ID proof (Aadhaar/PAN) is cross-checked during manual editorial review.
Owners submitting listings must provide a recent TANGEDCO Electricity consumer receipt or property tax assessment number matching the physical address.
All photos and walkthrough videos are audited against reverse-image databases to ensure they are not recycled stock images or stolen from other portals.
Listings older than 30 days are automatically archived unless the owner confirms the property remains vacant and available.
Crucial Advisory: Never Transfer Token Advance Before Physical Inspection
Scammers frequently pose as army officers, defense personnel, or landlords based out of town who ask for a "gate pass fee" or "token booking deposit" via UPI before showing the house. Chennai Rents never charges tenants a viewing fee, and genuine landlords will always invite you to view the home in person before asking for a deposit.
