CAYCE, S.C. (WJBK) - A recent house listing on Zillow in South Carolina is gaining attention for its mystery occupant upstairs that agents are telling potential buyers "don't bother asking" about the occupant living upstairs rent-free.

Should someone buy the home in Cayce, a city near Columbia, the listing says that person assumes responsibility for the tenant upstairs.

It specifically states: "Upstairs apartment cannot be shown under any circumstances. Buyer assumes responsibility for the month-to-month tenancy in the upstairs apartment. Occupant has never paid, and no security deposit is being held, but there is a lease in place. (Yes, it does not make sense, please don't bother asking.)"

The single-family home appears to be a diamond in the rough, as the listing states -- a two-bedroom house with a separate cottage.

The property is being sold "as-is" with no repairs, no clean-up and no warranties expressed or implied.

According to the post, there is a mysterious tenant who lives upstairs from you that never pays rent and the owner has never seen.

The listing came to light when a Twitter user posted about it, calling it a "nightmare house."

Hey @zillow!!!! I HAVE SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS NIGHTMARE HOUSE. Read the description. https://t.co/ZrKg58Pi50— Bekka Supp (@valhallabckgirl) May 8, 2017

The posting has been listed for 31 days and is currently priced at $130,000.

It was last sold in 1997 for $52,000.

Plot twist. The upstairs tenant is the seller.

Genius.

Seems they're seeking a pretty healthy return on their investment to unload their "nightmare"

Meh.. I'd buy it. If the "upstairs tenant" has never been seen, I guess that means they're not a pain in the arse at least.

Why wouldn't they clean off the roof before taking a real estate photo?

Buy it and have it condemned and bulldoze it for the land.

No shot that house sucks. Not even an above ground pool.
