Trust and safety
Badges that say what was checked. Reports that get answered.
A rental site is only as good as its listings. Here is exactly what we check, what we don't, and what happens when something is wrong.

How to check this yourself →
Three badges, three different promises
None of them is for sale.
Permit shown
The permit or licence the country requires, as the advertiser provided it: Dubai's DLD advertising permit and QR, broker BRN and office ORN; Saudi Arabia's REGA advertising licence and FAL licence; Qatar's broker licence. Missing where required? The listing isn't published.
Confirmed by the advertiser
Facts and availability the advertiser confirmed, with the date. When a confirmation gets old, the listing says "Not recently confirmed".
Checked by LeaseExact
Shown only when we actually checked something — for example a permit against the official check, or Egyptian authority documents in our review queue — with how and on which day.
Scams
The patterns to walk away from
Most rental scams look the same. If you see one of these, stop and report the listing.
- Asked to transfer a deposit before a viewing and a signed contract
- "I'm abroad, I'll send the keys" — and no one can show you the home
- A price far below every similar home in the area
- Pressure: "three other people want it, pay today"
- Payment to a personal account that isn't the landlord's or the agency's
- A permit number that doesn't match the official check
LeaseExact never asks you to pay on its behalf, and our assistants never give you a bank account. If a message asks for money before a viewing, don't transfer it — report it.
What happens when you report a listing
Every listing has a Report button: fake or unavailable, asked me to pay before a viewing, wrong price, photos aren't this home, or something else.
