Council shuts down ‘illegal’ shed advertised as granny flat for $1,000 a month in Sydney A Sydneysider who advertised their tiny tin shed to rent as a “granny flat” for $1,000 a month has been slammed online amid the ongoing rental crisis. The shed situated in Minto in Sydney’s south west, was listed on Facebook marketplace before a frustrated man questioned the legality of the ad. The tiny accommodation features tiled floors throughout, and has a fitted shower and toilet, however, it appears to be built at the end of another property’s yard. Ben, 27, said he decided to take it upon himself to contact Campbelltown City Council, and get the accommodation shut down. “I couldn’t believe my eyes,” he told 7NEWS.com.au. “I mean, it’s a $300 tin shed from Bunnings with no insulation or cooling in south-west Sydney where temperatures can reach as high as 40C.” “I’m not the type to dob people in, but there’s a big difference between a safe granny flat that’s up to code and a serious health risk like this.” https://7news.com.au/news/nsw/co ... in-sydney-c-9831374 |
