You are right - you have no way of knowing if this guy really owns this property. Tell him you'll pay 1st/last & security if he can show you 1) his drivers license - 2) his paper work on the house/apartment/condo (purchase agreement/mortgage payments/condo CCs&R, lease agreement on Apartment / condo that allows subletting (that's you).

This is definitely a scam and very common on CL. DO NOT send them any money. If it seems too good to be true it is.
