false tenancy history Jamaica

Sellers of investment properties in Jamaica sometimes present fabricated tenancy records — false leases, invented rent rolls, and manufactured payment histories — to inflate the apparent rental yield and justify an inflated asking price. Buyers who fail to independently verify the tenancy history risk overpaying for a property that is either vacant or yielding significantly less than represented.

Real estate investment decisions in Jamaica are frequently influenced by projected rental yields quoted by developers and agents. When those projections are fabricated or based on materially unrealistic assumptions, buyers who purchased expecting a regular income stream discover they have overpaid for a property that cannot deliver the returns promised.
