OH THE perils of doing stuff online.

Whether it's dates, housemates or finding a job the internet is a wild place.

An online listing for a penthouse in Washington DC is the latest 'unique offer' to catch our eye.

The landlord decided to rent their Chinatown penthouse for just $1 per month.

The only catch? The new tenant was to be "very attractive" aged 26 or under and happy to be a "naked roommate," The Daily Dotreports.

"I'm a male looking for another male (straight or bisexual w/girlfriend preferred, but masc gay is cool too) to be my naked roommate," read the original ad, which has now been removed.

"Sounds crazy, but this is for real."

The ad went on to say the arrangement would be mostly "looking," but some "touching" will be required - the legality of which is murky at best the Huffington Post reported.

We'll just back away slowly and keep browsing the classifieds.
