Villa Owners Beware!
An alert has gone out for all owners to be wary of renting to a Russian Company seeking rentals. The company normally approach management companies, but as most companies have now been alerted, they may turn their attentions to individual owners.
The men in charge are called Steve and Jacob, and they are charging Russians $300 per person for accomodation (it is not clear if that is a weekly rate) to come over on a work visa. Steve and Jacob are negotiating a lower rate from the management companies and pocketing the profit. The main problem is that the young men and women are reportedly destroying units and have started a fire in one. They will also not vacate the premises and the police have had to be called to assist with this.
