A TikTok user, Emily (@emilytatouille), thought she had found a wholesome place to live while completing a college internship. However, she later claimed that her experience sharing a home with an older woman turned into a “living hell,” with uncomfortable encounters and strange household rules making her six-month stay increasingly difficult.
She recounted the experience in a video, alleging that she had rented a room in the woman’s home in 2019 while completing an internship required for her bachelor’s degree. She apparently found the listing on Facebook Marketplace and initially thought the arrangement seemed ideal. The homeowner reportedly appeared friendly and enjoyed gardening and yoga, but according to the creator, that first impression quickly faded.
