I have a situation which i'm not sure to be worried or not. I have recently rented a place (through an agent) from a landlord who claims that she is the owner of the place. However, I just found out that she's a property salesperson from one of her ads, with her cea code, and she is advertising the place i'm renting (probably an old ad). Should i be worried that this might be a scam? She has collected security deposit and also good faith deposit from me. Are agents allowed to say they own the place? I'm not sure how to check if she owns it or just an agent advertising the place.
