Owner, authority, broker licence and payee account.
No — confirm the deed and that the person collecting owns the unit or is authorised, before you transfer any money.
No. A listing permit allows a property to be marketed; it is not proof of ownership or a payment check.
Check the broker’s licence and whether the payee account matches an authorised party — both are covered by the Rent Payment Safety Check.
