Stay Safe

Your safety is our top priority. Follow these tips to protect yourself when using nawathana.lk.

Verify Before You Pay

Never pay a deposit or advance payment without physically visiting the property and verifying the owner's identity. Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true.

Meet in a Safe Location

When meeting a seller or landlord for the first time, choose a public place. Bring a friend or family member with you when visiting a property.

Use Written Agreements

Always use a written rental or sale agreement. Have all terms clearly documented before making any payment. Consider consulting a lawyer for large transactions.

Avoid Suspicious Requests

Be wary of anyone who asks for payment via wire transfer, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. Legitimate landlords and sellers do not request payments through unofficial channels.

Red Flags to Watch Out For
  • Price significantly below market value
  • Owner claims to be overseas and cannot show the property in person
  • Pressure to make a quick payment or decision
  • Requests for personal banking information
  • Listings with no photos or very low-quality images
  • Vague or inconsistent property descriptions
