    Housemate and I are on the house hunt and we found this lovely house in a place we love, and in very fine print it says you aren't allowed to use the carport/granny flat or the shed...

    Why the fuck would I pay to use half the house/property, you've got to be fucking joking. What's more is I don't want to run into someone in the backyard every other day while I'm paying probably triple their rent. I don't know maybe I'm being unreasonable, but it just seems ridiculous that you pay all this money to basically have a room mate you don't even get to pick.

      Ugh I hate that. A house I rented in Epping for 5 years had the stipulation that tenants couldn't use the shed either, so I had to store the yard stuff in the dilapidated sunroom, which I got complaints about because the lawn mower made it smell a bit like petrol. Couldn't use the sunroom because of the massive holes in the roof, but it smelled like petrol so fuck me right?

      Ugh, I feel your pain, it sucks ass to rent from slumlords.

        Oh, we immediately binned it. If I wanted live in what is basically a glorified apartment block, I would just move into a unit.
