Rental-Scam Address Checker

Paste the address from a rental listing. We check it against live Miami-Dade County code-violation and building-permit records and show you the facts on file. This is a facts report — it never labels a listing or a person as a scam.

Not a consumer report. Sunshine Property Records is not a consumer reporting agency and this information is not a “consumer report.” You may not use this site or its data for tenant screening, employment, credit, insurance, or any other purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

How to read this

✅ Records exist for an address → it’s a real, recognized property. That’s reassuring, but not proof a listing is legitimate — scammers reuse real addresses.
⚠️ Open violations or liens are facts to verify with the landlord and the county, not proof of anything about a person.
❓ No records found can simply mean the address is in the City of Miami, Miami Beach, or Hialeah (separate systems), is brand-new, or was typed differently — it is not evidence of a scam.

Public records, provided as-is. This information is compiled from official government open-data feeds and may be incomplete, delayed, or contain errors. It describes a property’s code-enforcement and permit record — it is not a statement about any person, the current condition of a building, or its safety, and it must never be read as an accusation of wrongdoing. Always verify directly with the relevant city or county before relying on it. Coverage is limited to the jurisdictions listed on this site.
