If you were a petrolhead who liked carbon monoxide fumes with your coffee in the morning it could be the dream home.

But a rental listing for a studio apartment in Richmond in which a tiny kitchen was located inside a garage - for the hefty asking price of $450 a week - had some suggesting on social media that the Australian rental property market was broken.

The extraordinary listing, which was pulled from the Domain website on Thursday, prompted federal Greens member for Melbourne Adam Bandt to write to Consumer Affairs Victoria.

“I do not believe that is acceptable in our community that renters are being forced to cook where they park their car,” he wrote.
