Case Snapshot: Housing Exploitation by Subject M.B. 

The following is a verified case summary from SARCIN’s secure investigative archive. Personal names and contact information have been removed for safety. The subject is referred to only by initials.

Subject: M.B. 
M.B. has been repeatedly reported by women who responded to his rental listings. He contacted one tenant through the housing platform WG-Gesucht.de and offered a low-cost room during a period of high demand. The offer seemed generous and safe. But shortly after moving in, tenants began to report troubling behavior.

Multiple witnesses described the same pattern:

Sudden demands to sign legal documents or NDAs they did not fully understand
• Surprise visits at night or early morning
• Verbal intimidation and veiled legal threats
• Changing rules about visitors and privacy
• Emotional manipulation and social pressure

One tenant stated: “I felt unsafe in the apartment. The landlord was constantly controlling and critical of my every move. Although he claimed he didn’t live there and that the room he used was just an office, he was in the apartment all day, using it to shower and prepare all his meals.

I contacted the previous tenant to ask how she had managed to break her lease early. She told me that the landlord had raped her and even coerced her into recruiting other women to live in the other rooms. He insisted that they needed to be attractive and “willing to be f*#%ked all day,” but also told her to lie to them by saying he was gay so they would feel less concerned about living with him. She eventually filed a police report and encouraged me to seek help from the police as well.

The landlord warned me that I would be sued if I spoke to the police because of the NDA I had signed. When the police called me, I lied and said everything was fine, claiming I hadn’t seen the landlord in the past three weeks. By doing this, I was able to get my deposit back and secure his permission to move out and rent a new place.”

Another described constant surveillance and isolation: “He would appear in the hallway late at night asking who I had over. I was scared to let anyone visit.”

While a third statement read “He would come into my room at random times during the day and say that we should “have fun.” I begged and pleaded with him, telling him I couldn’t do this. When it happened, his eyes would roll back into his head, and his lower jaw would jut out like a gorilla’s. He looked possessed, sweating profusely and giving off a revolting smell. It was always over very quickly. Afterward, I would just sit there in shock. He would tell me that I should feel honored by what had just happened, and then he would leave, happy and saying how much he had gained from it.”

SARCIN analysts identified a consistent pattern: abuse of landlord power, misuse of secrecy agreements and deliberate intimidation. These tactics align with known behaviors of serial acquaintance predators — those who exploit urgency, trust and social vulnerability to harm others.

This case is one of several currently under legal review by SARCIN partners globally. We have shared verified intelligence with vetted attorneys and safe accommodation networks to protect future victims.

SARCIN is currently working to identify and reach more survivors in order to build a stronger case for global law enforcement and government officials. At the same time, the organization is raising awareness among young women through the same channels the landlord uses to target them and actively intervening to prevent them from being lured into isolation and abused.

All reports are treated as allegations unless proven in court. The subject is presumed innocent unless legal proceedings establish otherwise. Survivor safety and dignity remain our top priorities.
