Tenants in a rented property have expressed outrage after discovering their landlord's list of eight house rules, which they describe as 'patronising beyond belief'. The rules were shared on Reddit, where users advised the occupants to 'get out ASAP'.
The landlord does not live in the property but keeps a locked living room for his own use, visiting on Saturdays to do admin work. One tenant explained that they are all in their mid-20s or older and find the rules incredibly patronising, adding that they have not displayed any ridiculous behaviour.
While some commenters saw nothing unreasonable in the rules, the tenant clarified that it is the manner in which they are being treated like children that is offensive. Others joked that the list resembled rules from a strict parent, with one warning that the landlord likely thinks he can rent out the property while still treating it as his home.
The incident has sparked debate about the balance between landlord authority and tenant respect, with many agreeing that such rules can be overbearing for adult tenants.
