Rental listing ‘hijacking’ raises security concerns

by Shane Dingman

A Toronto realtor says people are reposting MLS listings under their own names in hopes of generating a lead or finding a potential client.

Homes for rent that have been “hijacked” and the loose enforcement of rules over who has access to them are raising concerns about security gaps in the residential property market.

Some real estate agents in Toronto say the practice of hijacking a listing – someone copying the properties of the agent contracted to sell a property onto their own website – has become almost commonplace.
