Wow, that video. When I was a student in the 80s/90s we rented places like that in Brunswick and Carlton for $75 a week. Some places had floor collapsing or a roof with a hole in it but we didn't care because between 4 or 5 of us the rent was so fucking cheap. Now to ask $500+ per week for a place that requires the use of a "shit stick" is fucking disgraceful. And the sheer gall of the landlord to turn up in a flash car like that smdh.. in my day the landlord was an old Italian or Greek bloke who turned up in a Sigma or Datsun lol.
