  • A communal laundry inside a three-bedroom home has been listed for lease
  • The laundry featured a single bed pushed up against a while inside the laundry  
  • The room was listed on real estate website Trade Me on July 6 for $80 per week 

A listing for a single bed inside a laundry room has gone viral online.

The advert for the $80-a-week accommodation was posted to real estate  website Trade Me on July 6.

Pictures show a single bed squashed against one wall with the washing machine and sink on the other side. 

The room is located in a three-bedroom home in Welcome Bay, Tauranga on New Zealand’s North Island. 

The other images show a sprawling backyard, outhouse and kitchen.

It was also made clear that the washing machine would only be used by other residents on Saturday mornings.

Since the listing went live there has been major uproar on social media with users slamming the advertiser for taking advantage of desperate renters in need of a cheap place to live.

Images of the ‘bedroom’ have also been circulated on Tauranga-based community groups online.     

Since the backlash, the listing has been removed from the Trade Me website.
