It is one live-in nightmare
Moving in with strangers you meet online is sometimes a necessary evil, due to the high cost of rent and limited housing options around the world.
But this couple’s roommate questions stretch far beyond the boundaries of evil, and cross the line into “horror movie” cool.
“My boyfriend and I are looking to rent out our spare room in our flat in Battersea,” London-based lovebirds Alex and Madi announced in a viral listing, which has racked up over 2.3 million x views. “It’s a nice apartment, the room is a bright, double bedroom.”
The pair go on to highlight their apartment’s prime location and luxurious layout, claiming the two-bedroom residence features “plenty of dining and lounging space, and lots of built-in storage and in-room desk space,” as well “high ceilings[…]separate bathroom, kitchen, dining room and living room.”
And with a reduced fee of just over $1,500, plus an unspecified amount in “bills” — a slight drop from the nearly $1,700 Alex and Madi say renters typically pay — spare rooms and shared living spaces can be all yours.
As long as you don’t live there full time.
“We hope to find someone who has a partner or family nearby to spend the night with from time to time,” the couple wrote.[offering] in the apartment for 3-4 separate nights a month to relax by yourself.”
The couple’s controversial request for a routine job vacancy, along with the high cost of rent, sent social media into overdrive.
“That would be a *terrible* living arrangement,” spat one exasperated commenter. “[$1,500] and you have to creep around this stingy couple and stress about not being there at least one night a week? Absolutely not.”
“This should be made into a horror movie,” an equally outraged viewer, in part.
“If I have a partner or family around to crash… why am I paying you [$1,500] instead of them?” asked another loudly.
“Some people’s right,” said one objector.
But finding a sane resident can be a tricky task that, in some particularly extreme cases, ends in terrible tragedy.
Alvaro “Bert” Gonzales Montoya, a California man suffering from schizophrenia, had the misfortune of living with serial killer Dorothea Puente in the late 1980s, according to the Netflix documentary series Worst Roommate Ever. Puente, a grandmother of sorts who ran a boarding house for the needy, killed Montoya and at least six others who took refuge on her property.
Eugene Sarver, an elderly Upper West Side man who struggles with severe Parkinson’s disease, and his wife, Nina, who suffers from dementia, previously told The Post that their millennial friend, Lawrence Lee, was a “tenant of terrible and a pathological liar!”
The Sarvers alleged that Lee had stopped paying the $992 required for a room in their 97th Street home, claiming he was more than $12,000 delinquent in monthly rent arrears. The intense stress of the situation regularly sent both seniors to the hospital.
Taylor Paré, a content creator in NYC, also shared her nightmare experience living with a Victoria’s Secret model.
“I was horrified to find out she stole stuff from every single person in the apartment,” the brunette ex-roommate said unnamed on TikTok. “Strange things. Like pens and cups, tons of prescription drugs that she wouldn’t have been able to use.”
Paré went runway diva after having a disgusting habit of hoarding her unsanitary unmentionables.
“That’s the biggest part. She would keep all her trash, dirty used tampons, tissues to wipe her nose, her behind… the way you’d see her chattering on them,” Paré said sickeningly. “She would keep them all in her suitcase that was kept in our apartment.”
“That was so foul!”
