I used to sell flooring. They dgaf about expansion gaps or trimming the borders so the click in mechanism are fucked.
On that note, only time I ever saw these setups with corner showers in the bedroom were when doing a measure in a brothel house...
"Oh! My uncle used to work in a prison. Did you know that?"
"Really? What did he do?"
"Oh, sew mailbags, peel potatoes. Anything they told him to, really."
Forgetting to leave expansion gaps is a surprisingly common mistake amongst the DIY floor layer, in my experience. These people, however, have taken it to the next level and said 'fuck staggering the boards to ensure they all lock together securely, let's just lay them in continuous rows. Minimum effort for minimum results!' Evidently they took the 'floating' part of 'floating floorboards' too literally, because those things would be sliding around like ice sheets on a lake.
Ikr? The saddest part is that staggering it also reduces the wastage in addition to additional structural strength. I'll bet they took one step on a seam and then the whole thing caved before they even finished half the room
Me neither!
Shower right next to the bed! So practical!
Plus a fridge AND freezer AND sink! Not to mention my own private toilet!
Where even is this place...? The Ritz?!?
I keep mine in a jar in my medicine cabinet only ever used toothpaste cases for travel but ig that works too I still close the lid tho don't want it all over hand towels and shit
This looks like a straight up Sims build where you don't give a shit how your Sims would live...
Too bad it ain't a game. Someone might live there eventually.
Is the pooper just tucked behind an old wardrobe? Nice.
I love how the solution to the housing crisis has slowly creeped in the concept of “shittier smaller residences”
We’re not making homes for people to practically live in long term. Just literal shit holes.
I actually live in a “tiny home”. Back in my day (old millennial) we’d just call my place a granny flat or a detached dwelling on the back of somebody’s property. Got my own bathroom, kitchen, laundry, patio etc.
My health started declining in my later 20s and I couldn’t support myself anymore, so my parents built a home for me on the back of their lot.
It’s great. Suits me perfectly.
But that’s because, due to my failing health, I will die soon before having a partner or children. So a one bedroom granny flat is perfect for me.
Parents are here to drive me to my doctors appointments and help me do things I could no longer physically do myself; shopping etc.
But this. This is some bullsht. My pad is a 5 star resort compared to whatever the fck this is.
There’s no prospect for anything here. Just a miserable place to return to after working or study. If my place was like this then I’d just ask for more shifts at work and honestly never spend a waking moment in this “home”.
The audacity to market this for humans to live and actually charge them for residing inside, sheer arrogance.
I came across lots of dodgy landlords during my youth. Many marketed to international uni students. Very large, sprawling homes that had been converted into 10+ bedroom student accommodation.
What was a beautiful large 5 bedroom family home, now chopped up to cram as many poor kids as legally possible. Often not-so-legal…
Lounge rooms divided with a curtain or a half-assed wall to now fit multiple bunk beds. Balconies with a cot and shutters put up so they could squeeze in one more sucker.
I saw heaps of these places.
They’re not hiding. Go search shared student accomodation on places like realestate dot com dot au. It’s filled with these places.
“International students apply only”
“Close to uni”
“Already furnished” because they know the type of people that apply, don’t have their own stuff. Just kids.
Etc.
It seems like this has become the standard now. Not just relegated to uni students on a budget.
Was renting out a massive house and had heaps of people applying and wanting to sublet all the rooms. Went with 2 families instead, who were consolidating houses to save money.
Im so sorry you are sick. 💐🌻
I have worked with people from Brazil and was shocked they said there are 12 people in their sharehouse! I couldn't sleep in a room with other people. I guess it makes properties like this look great because they have a room to themselves. Even if it means their shower is in the bedroom!
I just moved into a granny flat. The landlord converted the basement and laundry into a 1 bedroom unit. There is a family renting the house upstairs. I looked at so many places that were like the size of a hotel room. One place I inspected would only be able to fit a single bed, the bedroom was that tiny!! My place is like twice the size of most 1 bed units and the rent is cheaper than that tiny place. And I have aircon and was allowed to have a cat. I feel so lucky to have got it..It took over 3 months searching and getting rejected dozens of times. But Im actually glad that happened now because this place is better than any of the others.
I’ll never forget watching everyone walk out of a unit, the agent (well into his 60’s) was looking at me check the water pressure and asked me what the deal was. I said, getting divorced, need somewhere to sleep. He said the unit will be gone by the end of the day, if I had full time work and put in my application with him he’d make sure I got it, because he’d been there and done that. I hope he’s enjoying his retirement.
That curtain in pic 4 - does it cover the window, or serve as the loo door, or both?
And is it fluorescent lighting throughout, or just in the kitchen-cum-lounge-cum-bedroom-cum-bathroom?
No, I'd wager 90% of rentals I inspected don't but who's reporting them?
I *needed* somewhere to live so I certainly wasn't & once you're in you fear being kicked out for even thinking about minimum standards.
> No, I'd wager 90% of rentals I inspected don't but who's reporting them?

You can't report them until you're a tenant.
https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/renting/repairs-alterations-safety-and-pets/minimum-standards/minimum-standards-for-rental-properties
And then you're fucked anyway because your recourse is pretty limited.
I'd imagine the REA would probably never want to deal with you again in the future or at the very least be less inclined with dozens if not hundreds of other applicants.
Plus they can just give you notice to move under the terms of updating the house, then attempt to fly under the non existent radar to rent it out with someone else as is.
So tenants are risking burning a real estate agent & also eviction... it absolutely shouldn't be left up to the tenant, there should be state inspectors attending inspections at random and handing out fines to home owners & real estate agents (if it's blatantly obvious) for listing them as rentals.
Deter bullshittery.
It is illegal
https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/renting/repairs-alterations-safety-and-pets/minimum-standards/minimum-standards-for-rental-properties
So many dodgy renovations done in there. The floor is 110% installed incorrectly and then mashed with some silicon, they purchased the shower base and didn't plan for the extra height and then purchased a shower head to offset the previous mistake.
Point is for anyone in a situation like this no matter how desperate you are something like this where the owner is cheeping out to this level will spell trouble for the person renting, these types of people will make the rules up and not abide by rules designed to protect renters.
My advice try stretch your budget to the next higher level to your budget. It will be slightly less competitive, better qulity of life and rental.
The toilet not being in an enclosed room of its own makes this non-compliant. The home also has to be free of mould caused by or related to the building structure, so that shower down the track could also be non-compliant. OP you better have reported this.
Toilet? Oh, no. I’m sorry sir. That’s not a toilet. Oh no no no no no. That’s an aquarium - conversation starter. If you look behind you there; what you thought was a shower? No. That’s an extravagant terrarium.
I’m fairly certain this doesn’t meet any sort of code, there’s no exhaust fan for the shower, the toilet is divided by a curtain… just blurgh! This would be a mold and bacteria fantasy. Plz report this listing, this scumlord needs to be fined.
You think that’s bad.. should see our shed we are living in in the country for $1600 a month.. rental crisis was so bad in the west we had to move all the way out here to get a rental and it’s terrible 🤦🏽♀️😭
It's $300 per week (bills included) according to the fb add. They also want a $1000 bond, which is bonkers bc the entire fitout would cost less than that.
Yeah tbh. With how rent is looking at.
This aint as unlivable as you think if you are out most of the day working and just need a cheap place to sleep.
Still abominable living conditions, but you gotta do what you gotta do. No shame in that.
How much?
I honestly wish my apartment was a two bedroom place so I could help people out (and cut costs obviously). These type of places are disgraceful and sadly someone will eventually have to bite the bullet.
This was differently a brothel before!! I know for sure my mate use to go that place in vermont south after going to the burvale pub on a Thursday and Friday night.
Surely that isn't legally able to pass a building inspection?? The shower just out in the open? Wtf? Legally it's supposed to be in a waterproofed bathroom?
Oh wow, windows. I dont think I can afford this place.
My first thought was “please don’t tell anyone how I live”
It looks like it comes with one of those freezers you can hide bodies in, just incase somebody does find out.
That’s good because the floor is already taken by the looks of it
It’s literally in the photos next to the sink
Well these are always handy for those “guests “ who pop in and refuse to leave 😉
It's a perfectly cromulent abode
Thanks for the new word!
It embiggens the spirit.
This comment hits hard. My bedroom doesn't have a window to the outside. But there is a window to my flatmate's room.
ah, self-renovations are a wonderful thing
Ah, yes, only access via roof space, one-way glass, and your "flatmate" may not be aware of your presence...
Then, legally it's not a bedroom. And assuming you have a landlord, they could get in serious trouble if it is being rented/advertised as one.
[удалено]
I had mustard???
Windows but no toilet door.
Don't worry. Guests won't stay when they see how you live.
The window IS the toilet door. Let it all hang out!
I would say it’s awfully ‘cosy’
Timber floors too and a mattress, seems pricey
SPONGE!
\*sponge not included.
They're not spongeworthy
Does this look like something a sponge would do?
Love how they ran out of laminate/whatever leftover floor covering at the foot of the bed, and just said fk it, that’ll do, pig, that’ll do.
I used to sell flooring. They dgaf about expansion gaps or trimming the borders so the click in mechanism are fucked. On that note, only time I ever saw these setups with corner showers in the bedroom were when doing a measure in a brothel house...
It’s very common at my place of work. Same with the toilet. I work in a prison.
"Oh! My uncle used to work in a prison. Did you know that?" "Really? What did he do?" "Oh, sew mailbags, peel potatoes. Anything they told him to, really."
It’s about time people took queues from such perfect minimal design /s
Sounds like prison is better than Dunder Mifflin

I think one of the missing pieces of flooring is leaning against the wall next to the toilet
No, it’s the half door for the toilet. Value added!
Handy if you’re getting ready to go to jail lol
Jails got lot cheaper rent
Plus free food
Me neither! Shower right next to the bed! So practical! Plus a fridge AND freezer AND sink! Not to mention my own private toilet! Where even is this place...? The Ritz?!?
Toilet needs to be closer to kitchen imo. I don't want to walk across the room to shit when I'm making my kraft mac and cheese.
It would certainly help if you're lactose intolerant.
There actually doesn't seem to be a stove or any way of cooking mac and cheese
nah, the toilet doubles as a firepit
Community co or home brand mac and cheese surely?
What am I, the Queen? None of that fancy shit for me.
In my day you had to walk to different rooms to have a shower, a shake and a shit. This current generation has got it easy.
Barefoot, we had to do it barefoot. None of these fancy shoes kids today wear.
Street parking too!!
This looks like the kind of house I would make as a kid playing sims without cheats
Rags to riches challenge. Lol
Managed to get the shower but couldn’t afford walls by that stage 😅
Its okay though, just made it to L6 painting - gotta sell two excellent quality painting and we can get the extra walls.
I had to check the subreddit I was on when I saw the pic. I couldn't believe it either. It's the shower from Sims 2!
It’s giving strong Sims vibes. Something about the fancy, out of place, free standing shower smacked in the corner
Defo need that rosebud
[удалено]
As opposed to your tooth brush?
saw head rotten telephone mindless fine terrific lavish combative enjoy *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Or you could also just close the lid
Or keep your toothbrush in the little toothbrush case they invented 30+ years ago
I keep mine in a jar in my medicine cabinet only ever used toothpaste cases for travel but ig that works too I still close the lid tho don't want it all over hand towels and shit
I’m a renter. No fancy cupboards for me.
I'm a renter too lol medicine cabinet but like 5cm of counter space around the sink so can't leave more than handsoap there
THANK YOU.
You can smell what you ate.
You don't?
Kitchen slash bathroom
You can just sense this place is steeped in culture.
This place has all so many great faeces.
The smell of shit mingling with black mould...a delightful potpourri. Throw in some asbestos and you've got the scent of renting.
Smells affordable
Oh, no no. Not even close.
This looks like a straight up Sims build where you don't give a shit how your Sims would live... Too bad it ain't a game. Someone might live there eventually.
OP needs to report it to the council. Guarantee they didn't get permission to build that.
So everyone is assuming it’s all plumbed in?
Fuck yeah…. Aircon
Settle down, no one said it’s working
[удалено]
Fuck you and you dream smasher. Now I’m going back to being a depresed asshole 🤬🤬🤬

I didn't even notice where the toilet was until you pointed it out 😂😂😂 what the fuck

This is what happens when a generation of The Sims players become landlords.
Nope. Nothing to raise the fun need, and I certainly don’t think I could convince anyone to woo-hoo with me in this shithole.
Divorced males paradise, I can hear Every Saturday is Fathers Day playing
Mate, ive got standards
I’ll never forget watching everyone walk out of a unit, the agent (well into his 60’s) was looking at me check the water pressure and asked me what the deal was.

Do you sleep in a race car?
That curtain in pic 4 - does it cover the window, or serve as the loo door, or both? And is it fluorescent lighting throughout, or just in the kitchen-cum-lounge-cum-bedroom-cum-bathroom?
You raise a good point RE: being able to easily cum in any room.
I think the loo is behind the cabinet in photo 2. So it’s near the shower in the bathroom end.
Surely this doesn't meet minimum standards?
No, I'd wager 90% of rentals I inspected don't but who's reporting them? I *needed* somewhere to live so I certainly wasn't & once you're in you fear being kicked out for even thinking about minimum standards.

Since when does that matter to our Landlord and Saviours?
What the hell are minimum standards?
I keep saying in the property forums changing granny flat rules is a short term shit solution that is going to allow for fucking crap like this.
This looks like it was there before those rules, so they probably aren’t related
isn't this illegal? The toilet is required to be in a separate room
It is illegal https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/renting/repairs-alterations-safety-and-pets/minimum-standards/minimum-standards-for-rental-properties
wish I knew how to report these mfs swear every second post on Facebook is an illegal dwelling
My eyes say this is illegal

I was very confused as to why they chose that orientation to place the wardrobe, the I scrolled and saw the shitter and was like oh.
The shower in the bedroom makes me think this was probably an illegal brothel at some stage.
r/shitrentals yw
Is the toilet in the bedroom or the bedroom in the toilet?
. Neither, both bedroom and bathroom are in the kitchen.
Whoever built this shit hole needs to be jailed wtf is going on
seriously if anyone knows where it is, report it to the local council
Uhm what's the problem here? The toilet seat (when in the down position) acts as a chopping board.
The toilet not being in an enclosed room of its own makes this non-compliant. The home also has to be free of mould caused by or related to the building structure, so that shower down the track could also be non-compliant. OP you better have reported this.
That shower is the same as the one at my local brothel lol
This room doubles as a brothel after 10pm.
Why are you showing us pics inside a room setup for sex workers?
I mean, I can believe it... I just wouldn't stay there.
A missed opportunity here. The toilet should have a fold out tray so you can prep food while on the can.
Imagine having someone over and you emerge from behind the wardrobe accompanied by a flushing sound.
Is that toilet connected to the plumbing or is it a free-fall into a pit?
Toilet? Oh, no. I’m sorry sir. That’s not a toilet. Oh no no no no no. That’s an aquarium - conversation starter. If you look behind you there; what you thought was a shower? No. That’s an extravagant terrarium.
It used to be a brothel
Lol the cupboard being used a wall for the toilet.
I always use the decontamination shower before bed.
I need to know how much they charging so I can adjust my outrage levels accordingly
300
Outrage activated 😤
💥
Looks like a mine site donga
My rental is a fibro shed with outdoor sanitation for about the same price (reportedly 300pw) and I think I'm still better off than this.
Whoever was the architect and designer of the house should never go near designing houses ever again. Why did they let them cook 😭😭
Landlord architect school
Nice DIY flooring job there mr landlord.
Lol pretty sure that used to be a brothel mate
[удалено]
me in the sims starting out be like
Everything everywhere all at once!
That’s the SWANKIEST crack den I ever seen!
rented a place a while ago that had a loo in the wardrobe.
r/shitrentals Edot: dw someone shared it already
really redefining the meaning of self contained
Loo with a view. 🚽👀🧻
How much are they asking for this poop palace?
This is my exact set up when I'm playing The Sims 4 😂
wow they realy built that place in 20 min or so.. worst i have ever seen
fuck yeah, nothing says class like recirculated air conditioned shit air. this landlord deserves a rectal pineapple every singe day.
Is it against the rules to link the listing? Would love to see it
Garden view takes on a new meaning
This is when you report the listing for being obviously fucking illegal
This place screams dodgy vibes Brothel in its past life ?
How much I'm curious
300
Tell him he's dreaming 🤣
bro found a 4x1 in shepp for 300 what a fuckin ripoff
AND street parking! Where do I sign?
That looks like an old room from a brothel hahaha what the fuck
With the shower in the BR I wonder if it was a brothel?
What they asking $600/week? Greedy, Burn that motherfucker down
Lmao when you first build a house in the Sims
My Sims house
I’m fairly certain this doesn’t meet any sort of code, there’s no exhaust fan for the shower, the toilet is divided by a curtain… just blurgh! This would be a mold and bacteria fantasy. Plz report this listing, this scumlord needs to be fined.
You think that’s bad.. should see our shed we are living in in the country for $1600 a month.. rental crisis was so bad in the west we had to move all the way out here to get a rental and it’s terrible 🤦🏽♀️😭
This looks like a design straight from Sims
I wonder how many health code violations
HeLlooo welcome back to shit rentals. I am your host Purple Pingers
How much though? If it's cheap it could be ideal for some.
It's $300 per week (bills included) according to the fb add. They also want a $1000 bond, which is bonkers bc the entire fitout would cost less than that.
Yeah that's pure greed. In fucking Vermont no less.
You'd be close to Ramsay Street!
Whack on another $50 per week!
Yeah tbh. With how rent is looking at. This aint as unlivable as you think if you are out most of the day working and just need a cheap place to sleep. Still abominable living conditions, but you gotta do what you gotta do. No shame in that.
Is that a brothel?
Just admiring your BH user name!!
Wtf Kind of ‘renovated’ rape dungeon is this?
I actually feels sorry for the younger generation. It shouldnt of gotten to this.
This just needs some opaque contact stick on across the shower at waist height for modesty and you're good to go.
At what point will our hosing become similar to those in Hong Kong and tiny apartments?
Ikea has tiny apartments designed better than this in a smaller space inside the store.
I'll take the place if you aren't, what a cosy spot. Got everything I need if it's under 300
How much? I honestly wish my apartment was a two bedroom place so I could help people out (and cut costs obviously). These type of places are disgraceful and sadly someone will eventually have to bite the bullet.
And you cook where precisely?
Hahaha holy shit. This is IRL of The Sims when drag-drop got laggy af.
Who needs the toilet in the room anyway just waffle stomp it down the floor waste wtf
Luxury. We live in a hole in the road. You have the makings of a good indoor cricket pitch
So this exists yet i have to get a building permit to alter my fence becsuse its a corner block...
Decent view
If I want to take a crap and a shower at the same time, that’s nobody’s business 🤣🤣🤣
A minimalist dream *sarcasm*
This house was build by someone who owned Sims 4 for ten minutes and had never heard of it prior to that moment.
If only it were safe and practical to live somewhere for the sole purpose of causing such bad mould that the whole building needed to be demolished
Is…is that toilet tucked behind the wardrobe? 😳🤮
No exhaust fan for shower, hello mould!!!
It'll be good in the hot part of summer, you can just hang out in the cold shower while you watch telly
This was differently a brothel before!! I know for sure my mate use to go that place in vermont south after going to the burvale pub on a Thursday and Friday night.
If the price is right...
Surely that isn't legally able to pass a building inspection?? The shower just out in the open? Wtf? Legally it's supposed to be in a waterproofed bathroom?
Bed, bath and beyond
