A London landlord has been slammed for advertising a room for £1,350 a month - with an absurdly strict set of rules. The homeowner posted the listing on renting website Spare Room, with the hopes of finding someone to fill a bedroom in their home in Hampstead Heath, north London.

But the host has since been subject to a barrage of online criticism after demanding prospective tenants follow a number of strict rules, all while paying through the nose. The poster requested that hopeful tenants work 'longish hours in the city during the week', leave London during weekends and avoid having guests or using the living room.

Spotting the listing while browsing for potential homes, one hopeful tenant took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to lament the 'selfish' advert - where it received dozens of comments from angry renters slamming the 'exploitative and selfish' offering.

The listing proclaims to offer a 'lovely' flat with access to a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom - though the living room is strictly cited as 'not available for use'. Users slammed the strict house rules which also requested that prospective tenants have 'no guests, no use of the living space' and make 'no noise after 11pm'.
Elsewhere, many have criticised the landlord's requests for how long prospective tenants are actually allowed in the residence. A London-based landlord has been slammed on social media for advertising a 'completely exploitative' renting deal (pictured from Spare Room listing).
Social media user Sophia took to X, where she posted screenshots of the original listing alongside the caption: 'Anyone looking for a single bedroom with no heating where you can’t make noise and can only be home from 8:30pm to 8am (weekdays only)? Here’s one for a bargain (£1350)!!!'.
