We've all had landlords from hell, but this one really takes the biscuit.
Facebook user and prospective renter Jessica Marteny took to the Facebook group 'Awful Roommates: Roommates From Hell' to post the list of terms her potential landlord had set out for her.
Included in the list of rules were: no drinking alcohol, no parking cars on the driveway, no cooking between 9:30pm and 6am on weekdays and no use of space heaters.

The rules also stated that guests are banned in the property. The rules started out with: "Tenants must be quiet, clean and respectful of others at all times.
"This includes staying out of the other rooms, maintaining hygiene and not eating others' purchased food, i.e. being an adult."
The landlord then went on to explain how "the property is under 24-hour surveillance" and monitored with infrared at night.
Turning up the thermostat is also banned if you get chilly. As the rules state: "No space heaters! There are an electrical/fire hazard and due to insurance reasons are not permitted. Do not adjust the thermotstat. It is programmed at 68 degrees to keep the electric down due to being an older house. If you get cold you can get an extra blanket!"
Unsurprisingly, Facebook users were horrified by the rules.

One wrote: "The no guest rule really gets me. Imagine your family visiting you and wanting to see your new place and you get evicted immediately because of that."
Another said: "Do. Not. Live. There. Pretty sure this guy's got at least one body in the basement." She went on: "Sorry but if I wanna crack a White Claw and make a grilled cheese art 9:30pm with the window open, I'm gonna. Whhhat the actual f*** this is so creepy something is wrong here. Like, NO GUESTS? Sorry but noo thank you."
Yeah, we might all be desperate for somewhere to live, but don't put up with that nonsense. Under any circumstances.
