An advert offering a tenant a place in a shared house for just £1 per month has been blocked by the website EasyRoommate.
The advert invited prospective tenants to contact Michael.
Pictures show a well-kept five-bedroom, four-bathroom property in Gants Hill, north London.
The advert, though, is decidedly unusual, saying:
“I am renting another bed in my spacious ensuite bedroom for free due to autophobia, which is fear of being and sleeping alone.
“The house has a lovely living room and garden.
“The tenant must be single female, clean, organized and sociable.”
A spokesperson for EasyRoommate said: “We do not question the authenticity of his illness, but the fact he only wants single females left us with no other choice than to block this advert.”
