I think expats have to follow a different proceedure than the locals.

They take advantage of foreigners who seems to be at their mercy if you´re not prepared to deal with them. There are scammers so be prepared to go to another real estate agency or a better landlord for that matter.

brasilians get the same treatment abroad, when they have to rent a place, i know that in portugual when they know is a brasilian person renting , they want 1 year in advance..... i guess no boddy trust no one. I know a family that just come from NY, and they are renting a flat with fully equipaded and they are also renting a car. I could ask them for the contact of their agent.
