London: So, there’s this landlord in Camden who’s trying to rent out a room, and it’s causing quite the buzz online. The ad went viral because of its crazy rules, like a curfew that says you can’t come home until 8:30 PM. Seriously?
They were asking for £1,350 a month, plus a hefty deposit of £1,557. The place is in Camden, which is super trendy, but the listing was shared on Spareroom and even made it to Reddit with a cheeky title about the joys of renting in London.
The landlord, who claims to be a “professional researcher and music teacher,” mentioned that the flat has nice views of Hampstead Park. Sounds great, right? But then came the catch. They want a “quiet, clean, and friendly” person to live there, but you can only use your bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. The living room? Off-limits because the landlord works long hours there.
And it gets better! They’re looking for someone who works late and leaves town on weekends. The ad even said they teach violin in the evenings, so if you’re home before 8:30 PM, you’ll hear it. Imagine paying all that money just to be told when you can and can’t be home!
One Reddit user joked about how you’d only get to enjoy your room for a few hours a day. If you’re someone who works late and loves the violin, maybe this is your dream spot. Just be sure to read the fine print!
The landlord’s rules are pretty strict: no guests, no pets, no living room use, and no noise after 11 PM. Good luck finding someone who fits that mold!
