Alex Lomax responded to an advertisement for a room for rent.
“I didn’t even stay long enough to check if there was a mattress, and the landlord seemed absolutely serious”.
‘I was warned it was expensive, so ready to pay a lot for even a share, but this is clearly ridiculous’.
‘He showed me the room pretty much straight away, so I didn’t get to see much of the house itself.
The absurdity of room rental prices in London has been highlighted by a landlord letting out a cupboard under his stairs with a bed in it for almost $250 per week. “Bills to be shared – approximately £60 per month each”.
“I left as quickly as possible and said something like “it’s not right for me”.
What do you reckon £500 a month could buy you? The line in the description that reads “not really looking for somebody that just wants to stay in their room” is a bit suspicious, but then it does seem like a hell of lot of trouble to go to just for a practical joke.
As there aren’t any pictures on the flat advertisement Alex Lomax posted, we can’t tell for sure whether this particular case is definitely true.
