Woman looking for a lodger to rent her £700-a-month spare room in Glasgow Monday to Friday goes viral with VERY specific demands – including pre-booking the shower and doing 30% of the cleaning

  • After her demand that the tenant give permission to use the toilet or have visitors, a landlady became a viral sensation on Twitter.
  • The Spareroom.co.uk listing by the unnamed homeowner from Glasgow offers just one bedroom in the shared flat for £700 per calendar month
  • This week’s Twitter user Sanne Jehoul shared the advert and it has been liked, retweeted, and commented on thousands.










One landlady went viral when she demanded permission from her tenant before she could use the bathroom, or allow visitors to visit.

The Spareroom.co.uk listing by the unnamed homeowner from Glasgow offers just one bedroom in the shared flat for £700 per calendar month, and is only available on weekdays – unless you want to pay extra.

Also, the tenant needs to arrange shower times and must request permission from visitors before they can use the bathroom.

The advert was shared by user Sanne Jehoul on Twitter this week, and racked up thousands of likes, retweets and comments.

Poking fun at the listing, Sanne tweeted: ‘Pay this live-in landlord a cool £700pcm for a room from Mon – Fri only. 

‘Shower times TBA in advance. Visitors TBA in advance. In the ~up and coming~ G42 area! You only have to do 30% of the cleaning! Weekends negotiable at extra cost, but only sometimes ok?’.

The original listing reads: ‘I work from home, and am looking for a non-smoking, non-vaping individual to rent my spare room. This is ideal for an NHS worker at the New Victoria Hospital located opposite and for anyone who is not WFH.’

The listing for room in the flat at this converted church (Pictured) reads: 'You will have use of my shower during agreed times and your own downstairs bathroom and we will share the cleaning on a rolling weekly basis (though I will do 70 per cent given I am here full time)'.

You will get to use my downstairs bathroom during the agreed hours and I will clean your shower on a rotating weekly basis. I can do 70 percent of cleaning since I work full-time.

This adds that there are no pets permitted. If you have agreed to it in advance, guests can be accommodated.  

Slamming the advert, one Twitter user wrote: This sounds like a living nightmare. Like seriously dystopian and horrible’.

Another wrote: ‘Cool bars really sold it for me. Ones I can’t enjoy on weekends though.’

Unable to stop laughing at the advert, one user on Twitter wrote: It sounds like a living nightmare. It sounds terrible and seriously dystopian.

Another person said: “Looks like your living room is not available to you. £750 a month for a bedroom and ensuite bathroom which you have to allow the landlady use of (presumably accessed via your room?However, you are allowed to use her shower.

Commenting on the price, another added: ‘For £700 pcm you could rent a one bedroom flat all to yourself in up and coming G42′!’ 

Slamming the fact the price was only for weekdays, another wrote: ‘It’s very long way of just saying “I am a f****ng awful human, and I want you cover my mortgage and bills”. 

Since then, the advert no longer asks for guests or permission to use the bathrooms.
