Dewasa muda yang mencari apartemen pertama mereka menemukan penipuan iklan sewa dengan cukup rutin, tetapi sedikit yang memiliki pemahaman kuantitatif tentang seberapa umum risikonya. Pola penipuan — iklan palsu, permintaan mendesak untuk deposit atau sewa bulan pertama, «pemilik» yang menghilang — secara luas diketahui tetapi sering kali tidak terasa pribadi sampai dialami. Perpindahan pencarian apartemen hampir sepenuhnya ke platform daring telah membuat penipuan lebih mudah dijalankan dalam skala besar: foto yang tampak sah yang diambil dari iklan asli, detail kontak palsu, dan taktik urgensi bergabung untuk menekan penyewa yang berada di bawah tekanan waktu nyata untuk mengamankan hunian.

~5 dari 100 penyewa AS yang mencari sewa secara daring kehilangan uang karena penipuan iklan palsu (seumur hidup)

Tampilkan perhitungan
Survei Apartment List 2018 yang representatif secara nasional terhadap lebih dari 1.000 penyewa AS (1.126 responden nasional): diperkirakan 5,2 juta penyewa AS melaporkan kehilangan uang karena penipuan sewa. Di antara penyewa, 43,1 % menemukan iklan yang mereka curigai palsu dan 6,4 % kehilangan uang (≈5 % di ujung bawah yang digunakan di sini untuk derau pelaporan sendiri). Angka yang dinormalisasi (0,05 = 5 %) adalah tingkat kerugian seumur hidup di antara orang dewasa AS yang menyewa atau pernah menyewa secara daring. Ketidakpastian yang lebar mencerminkan metodologi pelaporan sendiri, variasi definisi («kehilangan uang» vs. «menemukan iklan mencurigakan»), dan evolusi cepat taktik penipuan. Rendah (0,02): ambang «kehilangan $500+» yang lebih sempit atau penyewa dengan kesadaran sebelumnya. Tinggi (0,10): pasar sewa yang ketat dan sangat langka di mana tekanan urgensi meningkatkan efektivitas penipuan (tingkat kerugian per-metro dari sumber bervariasi luas, hingga ~10-11 %).

Angka 5 % berasal dari satu survei Apartment List 2018 dan mengandalkan pelaporan sendiri. «Kehilangan uang» didefinisikan sendiri oleh responden — ini mungkin mencakup kerugian biaya aplikasi kecil bersama kerugian deposit besar. Lanskap penipuan terus berkembang seiring pencarian apartemen sepenuhnya pindah ke daring, yang mungkin mendorong tingkat di atas baseline 2018, tetapi tidak ada survei tingkat populasi pasca-2018 yang mengukur ulang tingkat kerugian seumur hidup. Tingkat «menemukan iklan mencurigakan» sebesar 43,1 % secara substansial melebihi tingkat «kehilangan uang» sebesar 5 %, menunjukkan sebagian besar penyewa berhasil mengidentifikasi dan menghindari penipuan — kelompok berisiko mungkin adalah mereka yang berada di bawah tekanan hunian akut di pasar yang ketat (pindah pertama, tekanan penggusuran, relokasi antarnegara bagian) di mana «uji tuntas» mahal. Ini dinyatakan [US-ONLY] karena survei seumur hidup penipuan sewa daring yang sebanding tidak ada untuk negara lain, meskipun fenomenanya tidak khas AS.

Apartment List’s 2018 nationally representative survey of over 1,000 US renters found that 43.1% encountered a listing they suspected was fraudulent, and an estimated 5.2 million US renters — 6.4% of renters, roughly 1 in 20 — reported losing money to a rental scam. The typical pattern involves a fake listing (often with photos scraped from legitimate listings), a landlord who is conveniently unavailable to show the unit in person, and pressure to pay a deposit or first month’s rent before viewing. The scam is particularly effective because the victim is typically under real time pressure: apartment searches have deadlines, and the target demographic — first-time movers, students, young professionals — has fewer reference points for what the process should look like.
The FBI IC3 reported $145 million in losses from real estate and rental fraud in 2023, though most victims do not file federal complaints. FTC Consumer Sentinel data shows that people aged 18–29 were three times more likely than other adults to report losing money to a rental scam — 46% of monetary-loss reports came from that group — consistent with the higher frequency of apartment searching in early adulthood. The gap between the 43.1% “encountered a suspicious listing” rate and the 5% “lost money” rate is meaningful: most renters successfully identify scam listings. The at-risk group appears to be renters under acute pressure — those relocating to a new city without local knowledge, searching during peak-season scarcity, or navigating an online-only rental process without trusted local contacts who can verify a listing’s legitimacy.
The 5% loss-rate baseline comes from a single 2018 survey, and no comparable population-level study has re-measured it since. Because apartment searching has moved almost entirely online — where a fake listing can reuse photos scraped from real ones and reach many renters at low cost — the underlying baseline may understate current risk for first-time renters who lack the pattern-recognition experience to spot inconsistencies. That is a plausibility argument, not a measured figure: absent a newer survey, the 2018 rate remains the best available estimate for the lifetime loss rate among online renters.

Sekitar 1 dari 20 orang dewasa AS yang mencari sewaan secara daring melaporkan pernah kehilangan uang karena penipuan iklan palsu pada suatu saat. Jauh lebih banyak yang menemui iklan mencurigakan lalu mundur; yang merugi cenderung mereka yang berada di bawah tekanan hunian mendesak, ketika memverifikasi iklan terasa mahal.

- Apartment List rental-fraud report (nationally representative survey of over 1,000 US renters). The 5.2M lifetime-loss figure equals the report's 6.4% money-loss rate among US renters. The 43.1% "encountered a suspicious listing" figure is not the same as "lost money" — the gap between these two rates reflects that most people recognize and avoid scams. The reported 6.4% money-loss rate is the basis for the native/normalized rate (rounded to ~5% at the low end of the reported range in this entry, given self-report noise); 18–29 renters lost money at 9.1%, nearly 1.5× the all-renter rate.

- FTC Consumer Sentinel Network Data Spotlight, December 22, 2025. Aggregates rental-scam reports 2020–2025: ~65,000 reports, ~$65M reported losses, $1,000 median loss. Reports are a reported-only numerator with no population denominator, so this does not independently supply the 5% lifetime rate; the Apartment List survey remains the primary source for the native estimate. Used as corroboration that rental fraud is a documented, non-trivial category that disproportionately affects young adults — those aged 18–29 were three times more likely than other adults to report losing money to a rental scam, and 46% of monetary-loss reports came from the 18–29 group.

- FBI IC3 2023 Internet Crime Report, "Real Estate" crime type (9,521 complaints, ~$145M reported losses). The IC3 "Real Estate" category covers real-estate investment loss plus rental and timeshare fraud, so it is broader than online fake-listing rental scams alone. The $145M loss figure is a reported-only numerator; most rental scam victims do not file IC3 complaints, so it supplies no population denominator. Used only as independent confirmation that rental-related fraud is a substantial, documented category.
