Rent from someone with a high DIS post count.
Rent from someone who has rented several times and who has verifiable references.
Talk to them on the phone and ask them questions.
Don't look for the cheapest deal, you get what you pay for.
Review their written rental agreement. If they don't have one walk away.

I'm renting points this years cause I've bought 3 loaded contrats, one ssr, one bwv and one vero. I've bought those contracts cause It's a good time for buying and I'm preparing my retirement. I'm not a high Dis post but I read a lot ( I'm learning from all of you). I dont have any reference from dis friends cause I didn't rent to anybody here before, but I rent two times before for friend in Montreal, that doesn't mean that I'm going to defrauded of money someone that way. I know you must check before giving your money and I'm angry when I read a story like this one so please dont put us in the same basket.
I just bought our contract this year as well and do not have a high post count because I did not know about the Disboards or DVC until about a year ago. I rent out some of my loaded contract and used my Link-In page as a referral source. I think it would be good to start a list of ideas of how you could help to verify if the owner is a good person to rent from other than the Disboards.
I would like to make a suggestion. I know we can't use DisBoards to post a complaint or possible fraudulent poster but why can't we start a sticky to post Kudos to DVCers that provide a good rental experience. Something similar to Amazon where you can post feedback,only in our case it would be just good feedback. At least it will give people some peace of mind when renting. These types of situations are bad for our whole DVC community. I hate the idea that someone uses our DisBoards to commit fraudulent activities.
