AN alleged greedy landlord transformed her one-bedroom flat into a cramped living space – and is marketing it as a five-bedroom flat share.
Si Ren of Adelaide, Australia, has been summoned to court over the project, which erected new rooms into a 82-square-metre flat allegedly without prior approval from local government.
The entire property was formerly rented for £380 per week, but Ren marketed each at weekly rates of £125 per week in 2021, according to News.com.au.
After Ren bought the flat in 2018, she added a bathroom unit and five bedrooms with a kitchen and hallway.
The renovations Ren made were allegedly illegal, breaking the Strata Titles Act of 1988.
