Safety Centre

Core safety warning

Do not pay rent, deposit, agency fee, inspection fee, holding fee, or purchase money before viewing the property and completing your own checks.

For tenants and buyers

• Check the listing details carefully before booking a viewing.
• Do not send money to anyone just because a listing appears online.
• Use the report button if a listing seems fake, unavailable, misleading, or unsafe.
• Tell someone where you are going when attending a viewing.
• Avoid late-night or unsafe viewing arrangements.

For landlords and property representatives

• Only list properties you own, manage, or have authority to advertise.
• Use accurate photos, prices, location details, and availability.
• Do not ask users for suspicious payments or misleading fees.
• Respond to viewing requests honestly and promptly.
• A paid request for a viewing slot you published may be accepted automatically because the slot represents your confirmed availability.
• If you cancel an accepted viewing slot you offered, D'Tinto may charge a ₦2,000 Viewing Disruption Fee for the additional coordination work. This is a platform fee and is not compensation paid to the tenant.
• Update listing availability once a property is rented, sold, paused, or unavailable.

Platform limits

D'Tinto Housefinder may review listings for platform trust signals, but users must still carry out personal, legal, and financial due diligence before any transaction.
