Landlords with high-spec properties in desirable locations rarely have to work hard to find suitable tenants. In fact if you own a nice two bed flat in London you will probably have would-be tenants queuing up around the block to take it!<\/p>\n
An Advert with a Difference<\/strong> Deal or No Deal<\/strong> So, not such a good deal then!<\/p>\n The ad, which was placed on spareroom.com, was removed as soon as a customer service representative noticed.<\/p>\n \u201cIn principle we do allow people to offer discounted rates for rooms if their new tenant can also offer a specific service. In the past we have had people that have been after a flatmate that will clean, or perhaps help to look after a child. In one case we had a music technician who offered a discount as long as the new roommate could help them catalogue their music collection.<\/p>\n \u201cBut in this particular case the offer of a discount did not seem appropriate, and so the listing was removed.

\nHowever, despite the demand for rental property, one enterprising landlord decided to place an advert with a difference. The property<\/a> owner reckoned he could let the room out for around \u00a3520 per week, but rather than specifying a room rental rate, he said the spare room in his flat was available to an attractive female tenant<\/a> for free.<\/p>\n
\nAt first glance, this might sound like a fantastic deal if you are looking for a large double room in a high-end flat in Manchester, but unfortunately any interested females would be expected to consider \u2018alternative\u2019 payment options in return for free accommodation.<\/p>\n
