What it does
You enter a property address. The tool searches for that exact address on 8 major German rental portals. It checks whether the listing appears publicly - scammers typically send listing details directly (email, WhatsApp) without ever publishing on a real portal.
How to read the results
- Found on multiple portals: Strong positive signal. The address is publicly listed on more than one site, making it much harder to fake.
- Found on 1 portal: Neutral. If that is where you received the listing link, finding it there tells you little - the question is whether the details match what you were sent, and whether it appears elsewhere too.
- Not found anywhere: Warning sign. Legitimate landlords almost always advertise publicly. Not found does not prove a scam, but combined with other red flags it is a serious concern.
Limitations
- Search indexes are not real-time. A new listing may not appear for several days.
- Some legitimate landlords rent without using portals.
- A result found does not guarantee the person contacting you is the legitimate owner.
- Results are limited to 10 per search across all portals.
- Not all rental portals are covered.
What to do if you find nothing
Do not transfer any deposit or rent before viewing the apartment in person with the landlord. Do not send copies of your passport, payslips, or Schufa to someone you have not met. Contact the portal directly if you received a listing link - verify it leads to a real, currently active ad.
