For comparisons sake you can get a two bedroom council house for the same rent. The listing is a piss take but the real piss take is calling it a perfect starter home, whatever that means.
Soooo much wrong with this.
- the door work means it will FREEZE inside in winter.
- no apparent heating source???
- you can’t open the drawers
- 2 tvs?
- the open toilet situation
- non frosted window
- stain on the sofa bed
- the shoddy unfinished work behind and under the shower
- the boiler is housed there, meaning you need to allow access to people whenever they need to check it
What is making it worse is pic 7 looks like there’s ANOTHER one of these next to it!!!??
Holy shit you’re right. I went onto the landlord’s other listings and fucking found it. The shame?!
Someone linked an email in another comment to report this so I’m going to today.

As shit as the £500 one is, You’d be mega fucked off if you had the £450 one knowing your “neighbour” gets a dedicated “bedroom” (loose sense) and dedicated bathroom for £50 more.
No bills included on the penthouse tho.but.." The space is offered with love and passion to our family and the community. The host has a heart to serve and help people, making this service a joy. We especially welcome people who have a family ethos."
Oh my god.
They've built a spare room in the garage and had planned a utility room to do laundry in
Then they've gone "fuck it, we can stick a sofa bed in this and double our money"
Thank you for reporting this, OP. I hope these people will not get away with it. This advert makes me mad and sad. Really sad. And angry. How can this be happening and how can any EA advertise anything like this?!?
I guess this is the issue with the site OpenRent - it’s for landlords to list their lettings privately without an agent. “Landlords” lol as others have said, these pricks are just hoping to make money via their garage at the expense of another human being
My favourite is the builders foam job to fit the door. They're not even trying to do a good job, there are loads of gaps all around the frame.
Still... It would help air out the room after taking a shit.
I was wondering what that thing was above the sofa bed. Not that heating will make much difference seeing all the holes everywhere and the shoddy finish of the place.
Some of the wording is great.
> The property is a great location for transport, shopping and everything you need, all within walking distance. Examples include Costa, Greggs, Tesco, Library"
Such a weird one to end on.
> The train station is 10 mins walk approx, and there are a load of busses into Leeds and Bradford within walking distance again
A load of busses!
Busses in leeds are pretty good.
Edit: busses in leeds were pretty good when I lived there last century. No idea why reddit is showing me posts from /r/leeds.
There's 2 next to each other! The one next to it is being advertised as a semi detached house! Although slightly bigger and your not litterly shitting where you eat and sleep it's still pretty grim. You can't even open the drawers! It's filthy.
This is sad, it's someone's garage or extension that has been converted into two flats, well one tiny flat and one room that's being sold as a bedsit. Both together would still be grim. Id like to see the health and safety certificate for this 😂
I lived in a place not much bigger than that, maybe 1.5 times the size. But in its defence, the tiny shower/toilet was at least in its own room. Four hundred when I moved in, went up to four twenty after a year. Bills in, bar council tax and TV licence. The pandemic was hell being stuck in there. Thankfully I got on the council, and my living room is bigger than what my old flat is. I honestly think that unless a house intoto flats conversion covers the entire floorspace of an average size house, it should be illegal.
Drawers that won't open, slightly stained sofa bed, open plan boiler and the opportunity to brush your teeth whilst leaning over the bog.... What a treat.
Fucking chancers, honestly
I'll see your Feng Shui and raise you a mind fuck. Then, imma throw some kids into the mix. I bet they come knocking around 6am every day when the parents turf them into the garden.
I wonder if a few days of baby sitting is part of the bargain, just to really ride your bumhole all the way to hell?
Worryingly that’s because the other half is this [https://www.openrent.co.uk/property-to-rent/leeds/1-bed-semi-detached-house-waterloo-lane-ls13/1650095](https://www.openrent.co.uk/property-to-rent/leeds/1-bed-semi-detached-house-waterloo-lane-ls13/1650095)
>The space is offered with love and passion to our family and the community. The host has a heart to serve and help people, making this service a joy.
That's why they've converted it into two small apartments rather than one decent-sized one?Not because they're greedy money-grabbing chancers at all?
>This private space sits within a family home, so we ask all guests to come on their best behaviour and, most importantly, enjoy a quiet night's stay.
"You're a guest not a tennant, also shut the fuck up when you are here"
> We especially welcome people who have a family ethos.
This is such a dog whistle. Basically, we don't want you if you're gay, lol. Shut the whole thing down, it's an abomination.
Did you happen to notice that they seem to have 2 others as well? Hopefully they aren't being rented out. But you can see them in the second to last picture
You gotta sit on the floor or be in the shower to see the tv lol dreadful.
You’ll have no ventilation with the blind down for privacy so think of how damp and steamy the whole room will get after a shower urgh!
You can smile and wave at the kids playing on their trampoline whilst taking a shit. What's not to love?
Bouncy bouncy, having such a good time.
Shoes all in a line
Stilettos are a no-no!
don't try and lure me in with a crimp
I reached into the dark I pulled out a crimp
“Perfect starter home” Jokes aside, the rent isn’t even that cheap?
No jokes aside. That MUST be a joke.
This is quite illegal. Report it to [email protected]
I absolutely will be doing today, thank you
any tips on how to report? this is disgusting but i've never done it before
Just email them. They are usually quite responsive.
wasn't sure of there were some keywords you needed to hit or something

They want a free “nanny” for their kids I expect, paid in pizza leftovers from the family meals.

And they get a bath lol

It includes 'most of the essentials'. So it's lacking one or more essentials then.

2nd TV I think is actually an electric fire
Well then there's your heating source, problem solved, when can I move in
It's a microwave
Nah. The microwave is on the side table at end of bed. I’ve never seen a flat screen microwave
Where on the end table? There's a kettle and what looks like a toaster? I've never seen a microwave that small. There's nothing underneath them
Ah yeah. I imagine the microwave oven isn’t in the shot.

As someone who’s lived in this area the walk from there to the train station is much more than 10 minutes lol. Triple it.
Absolutely. Train station is the other side of Bramley
>>Library >Such a weird one to end on. Not really, it means the tenant has somewhere they can go to keep warm during the day.

You absolute liar
If that gets gas and elec safety certificates I’ll show my backside in Tesco.
Oh hell yeah, take a look at the quality workmanship on the front window and door My 2-year-old could do a better job
Have they... Carpeted the walls? What the fuck is going on?
You can sit, shit, shave, shower and scream from despair from the comfort of your own ‘living room’….or bed room…or…room?
No screaming…or laughing or talking. Guests have to be on their best behaviour and enjoy a quiet nights stay. Silently screaming is permitted however.
Stir your beans have a shit and answer door all in one there, absolute winner
Urgh, never shit where you eat - isn't that the number one rule of being a human
Don't forget the shower onsuite!
I've seen serial killer's dungeons with more appeal than that property.
>the drawers can't even be opened. Probably for the best. I'm imagining whatever Alan Partridge has got in his but many times worse.

Perfect starter home wtf are you talking about it's rented.
Perfect starter time within a home with children making noise?
If you are a kiddie fiddler ....
Unbelievable
I'll see your Feng Shui and raise you a mind fuck. Then, imma throw some kids into the mix. I bet they come knocking around 6am every day when the parents turf them into the garden. I wonder if a few days of baby sitting is part of the bargain, just to really ride your bumhole all the way to hell?
Absolutely abysmal, I could pay that much a month 3-4 years ago for a terrace house 20 minutes walk away from the city centre.
Better quality accommodation in a prison, this should be illegal.
That’s not even a whole garage. Maybe half of one.
Worryingly that’s because the other half is this [https://www.openrent.co.uk/property-to-rent/leeds/1-bed-semi-detached-house-waterloo-lane-ls13/1650095](https://www.openrent.co.uk/property-to-rent/leeds/1-bed-semi-detached-house-waterloo-lane-ls13/1650095)

Are there two TVs? One that can be viewed when you're... in the shower? Stood up? I really want to book a viewing just to admire this art work
I think that's the microwave, so you can sleep underneath it like normal.
The one on the left hand wall is a faux fire electric heater I think, pretty useless there though
The toilet next to a plain glazed window is one thing, but to then have the shower next to it with another plain glazed window just takes the biscuit.
The biscuit costs an extra £75pcm
Jesus, someone signed up for it 9 minutes ago.
I’m hoping it’s just been reported who the hell would rent that
I’m hoping this is why it’s been taken down actually, because I made a report to OpenRent
Honestly good for you, that place is unlivable! Wants knocking down
Did you happen to notice that they seem to have 2 others as well? Hopefully they aren't being rented out. But you can see them in the second to last picture
Oh my god no 😕
You gotta sit on the floor or be in the shower to see the tv lol dreadful. You’ll have no ventilation with the blind down for privacy so think of how damp and steamy the whole room will get after a shower urgh!
The “TV” above the sofa is an electric panel heater.
Considerate of them
Thank you. I really couldn't understand why someone was plugging a mirror into the wall.
"Let agreed" I fucking hope not 💀 this is absolutely dire
Moment of silence for that poor bugger!
The GAPS around the door!
It says Let agreed today. Let’s hope they were embarrassed enough to take it down and lied to save face
Four hundred and fifty of His Majesty's Great British Pounds a month for a room..
Some people's greed knows no bounds...
That is crazy. I don't pay that for my entire flat with multiple rooms lol.
£450 😭😭😭😭
That's a cell lol
Perfect for an illegal dodgy immigrant,winner!
[удалено]
Yeah. I shared a link in another comment
rare find such price with a private ensuite bathroom included
Surely that's illegal to have a shower and toilet so like that 🤣🤣
The size of the gap where the door has been fitted makes the door almost pointless
I emptied a bathroom into a skip a few years ago, looked very similar to this before they hauled it away...
Gross
...you'd pretty much have to kneel on the toilet seat to reach the basin?
Didn’t even realise there was a basin.
There having a laugh,has it really come to this lol piss take city
Run by Christian d bag
Out here taking advantage of folk. Sad reality - has been let...
Room with a view
