For flat rentals, PGs, and deposits

Know they’re real before you pay.

Token-money scams start with a “landlord” who was never real. Ask for their Realr before you send a single rupee.

Right now vs. with Realr

Where it goes wrong.

Right now

A listing asks for token money or a deposit before you’ve even seen the flat — and the “owner” only exists over chat.

With Realr

Ask for their Realr first. A live liveness check plus verified photos prove there’s a real person behind the listing before any money moves.

Right now

The photos look perfect, the rent is suspiciously low, and they’re always “travelling” so they can never meet.

With Realr

Verified photos are matched to a live face, so the person and the pictures are genuinely real — the classic advance-rent scam falls apart.

Right now

You’d verify them, but you don’t want to hand your own ID to a stranger either.

With Realr

Realr shows the green checks, never the raw documents — both sides prove they’re real without exposing anything private.

What you get

Proof you can point at.

Know they’re real.

Face, age, and photos are checked before you meet — no catfish, no borrowed pictures.

Check before you pay.

Scan a seller’s Realr and see their verification + real order history before money moves.

Less scam anxiety on both sides.

When both sides can verify, the noise drops. Serious buyers and sellers stay.

Verified, nothing exposed.

You share that you’re verified — never your documents, address, or private details.

Where your Realr shows up

In every chat before you meet.

One link, readable wherever your conversation already lives. Mock examples below; your Realr looks like your Realr.

Common questions

Renting a flat or PG, answered.

What is a rental token or advance-deposit scam?

A fake “landlord” posts an attractive flat, then asks for token money or a deposit before you can see it — often claiming they’re travelling. Once you pay, they vanish. It works because you never confirmed a real person was behind the listing.

How do I verify a landlord before paying?

Ask for their realr before any money moves. A verified realr shows a live liveness check and photos matched to a real face — proof there’s a genuine person behind the listing, not an anonymous account running the advance-rent playbook.

The rent seems too low and they can’t meet — is it a scam?

Suspiciously low rent, an owner who’s always “travelling,” and pressure to pay a token fast are classic scam signals. Don’t send money until they prove they’re a real, verified person.

Do I have to share my own ID with the landlord?

No. With realr, both sides prove they’re real through verified green checks — never by emailing ID documents to a stranger.

One handle. Your whole trust story.

No Realr, no token money.
