Safety on Kinnesto

Last updated: 2026-11-10

Before you pay anything

• Never pay a deposit or “token amount” before you have seen the place in person (or on a live video call) and met the owner.
• Be wary of anyone who pressures you to pay quickly, asks for payment to a personal UPI ID before a visit, or refuses to show the property.
• Ask for a written rental agreement and keep receipts for every payment.

Meeting a flatmate or owner

• Chat on Kinnesto first. Meet in a public place or visit the flat with a friend.
• Tell someone where you’re going.
• Trust your instincts. If something feels off, walk away.
