Adelaide’s shared rental home with ‘scary’ bathroom, kitchen camera

An Adelaide home has been slammed for it’s “scary” bathroom with the “weirdest note” after photos of it were posted online in an advertisement to rent out one of its bedrooms.

In photos of the Mile End property’s bathroom, a set of instructions can be seen stuck to the old shower, which appears to be riddled with mould.

“Please open and close these two doors softly …” one read, warning that if moved too quickly the pulleys would break.

“Please stand your back to tile walls/your face directly to doors – so water not drop (sic) to outside floor,” another read.

One of the messages also asked bathers to mop the floor if it was wet afterwards.

The advertisement for the property’s fully furnished “one double bedroom” with a vanity that has hot and cold water, a microwave, fridge and good internet was spotted on Facebook.

It was listed for $200 per week for one person or $280 for two.

Screenshots of the since-deleted advertisement were later posted to reddit, where they have been slammed by users.

“Australia, the country where landlords feel entitled to dictate which direction the tenant must face whilst showering,” one comment said.

“Did they turn a bathroom into a bedroom? Why the random sink? And a full size fridge in the room, did I read that right? Everything about this is horrific,” another said.

There appears to be a CCTV camera in the kitchen. Picture: reddit

One person joked that “my prison cell was nicer”, while many others were concerned about the CCTV camera in the home’s kitchen.

“Sad part is people are jumping on these opportunities because there is nothing else,” one person said.

However, there were some who jumped to the defence of the person who posted the advertisement.

“Is this a landlord or a head tenant? If it’s a head tenant, they’re taking reasonable steps to look after the property so they don’t get breached or evicted,” one said.

“As for the CCTV, those things are great in case of a home invasion.

“Really, the only thing wrong with the place is that it’s $200 a week instead of $50 like it would have been 20 years ago.”
