Aussies have been outraged by a one-bedroom advert with the tenant sharing rooms with a daycare centre.
The rental price in Perth’s south is advertised at $375 per week, despite only having full access to the house between 6pm and 6am on weekdays.
Applicants are warned that four children and a teacher would use the living room and backyard during office hours every day.
The Facebook Marketplace listing adds that there is limited access to a parking garage and that the living room “comes with a TV.”
The property also features a ‘spacious master bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk-in robe’ and bills are split between the tenant and the childcare provider.
Photos of the house posted online show the living room strewn with children’s toys and furniture, while the bedroom also has a children’s single bed in addition to a double bed.
The advert was shared online to Reddit, where Aussies were shocked to learn that the successful tenant will not have to pass a Working with Children Check.
A WWC screens people who ‘do child-related work’ for previous crimes and determines whether they are suitable to work with children.

The Reddit post caused an uproar online.
‘WTF am I reading? Do you have to leave the house at 6am on weekdays and stay out until 6pm,” someone asked.
A second said the nursery should advise parents that there will be ‘a random, unsupervised person with all your children all the time’.
A third wrote: ‘And if you’re sick during the week you can’t be at home in bed from 6am to 6pm.
“This s**t needs to be rooted out and reported.”
Another said they had been in a similar situation when they moved back home, where their mother had a private childcare facility.
‘I have a WWC and a police check because of my job but it wasn’t as simple as just saying yes I have them and moving back in was a lot more complicated than that and it was my parents house not some random stranger moving in,” they wrote.
“This seems like a terrible idea.”
It appears the entry has since been removed.

The listing followed a similar advertisement in Queens Park, in Sydney’s east, last month, which featured a ‘lower’ rate of $950 per week last month.
In exchange for the rent discount, tenants would have to complete a list of tasks for the kindergarten downstairs and adhere to strict opening and closing times.
Tenants could only access the unit through the center and are not allowed to enter, leave the unit or receive guests while the child care center is open on weekdays from 7:45 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.
The list stated that tenants must clear leaves, sticks and gumnuts from the playground twice a week, water the gardens, put their bins out and tidy the ‘front area’ monthly.
Guests, pets and smoking were also not allowed.
The listing was quickly removed from real estate websites after multiple complaints and media inquiries.
