Before you go

Said it’s free 2 days ago. The advertiser confirms every 7 days that the place is still free. If that lapses, it says so here.

Ask on the phone before the trip

  1. Is the place still free? When can I see it?
  2. Is the rent EGP 2,050, as in the listing? What does it include?
  3. Is the deposit EGP 2,050, and the commission EGP 2,050, paid once?
  4. Who will meet me: the owner? Will I see the contract that day?
  5. Could you send me a video of the room on WhatsApp today?

If anyone asks for money to “hold” the viewing, don’t go and don’t pay. Report it

Only someone who contacted the advertiser through Istaqer can report, once per listing.
