A recent investigation by ACA has revealed how some landlords have make house renting hell for renters. Some of the landlords offer free or cheap accomodation for sex ,some landlords instead will make ridiculous requests like no child adoption in a 3 bedroom house, pets are not allowed at a particular time interval, when you have friends at your place, I must be invited if you have friends over, or paying $12/night if your partner is staying for the night.

The landlords have been making illegal demands from renters. Alice , 27 years old and international student in Australia narrated how she was surprised to find free and cheap accomodation in exchange for her body.

One ads Alice found reads :

I’m a 47 [year old] male, easy on the eye. One bedroom, one bed only. Female preferred”, while another was less subtle in its intentions: “You don’t need top pay anything if you share yourself with me while my wife is away.

Alice said : 

I didn’t expect creepy messages like that,I just wanted to rent a room — no sex exchange

Another tenant facing hell from the landlord is the mother of five, Ruth. She said the semi rural property and was not expecting to be stalked by the landlord. She said : 

   We’ve only been there about a week and we were having her constantly looking through windows, walking through the house when we weren’t home.If I had a friend come and visit at all, she would ring me and scream down the phone, saying that I wasn't meant to have friends there and not invite her.Friends stopped visiting.
