It is not easy to buy a house in a prosperous area, and renting a house is also a big expense. A member of the public recently found a subdivided house for rent in Hong Kong with a shared bathroom and a small space, and actually asked for NT$8,000. A similar situation actually happened in Singapore. It can be seen that netizens shared a “storage room” with no external windows, and the monthly rent was as high as 650 Singapore dollars (approximately NT$15,000), which is quite surprising.

FacebookThe fan blog “Rita’s German Purchasing & Travel Diary” shared photos of subdivided rooms that Hong Kong people saw on rental websites. “The bathroom is shared. This one feels smaller than a coffin. When you get up, you have to worry regarding hitting your head. If the cabinet is not nailed properly, it will happen immediately.” The end of life, and can I buy a mattress of this size?” Surprisingly, the monthly rent was NT$8,000.

However, a similar situation also occurs in Singapore.A female netizen is herelittle red bookIt was revealed that a Singaporean landlord actually rented out the “Store Room”. The exposed photos show that there are no windows to the outside in the room. There is only a single bed and an open shelf, and even the standing space is very limited. The rent is 650 Singapore dollars (approximately NT$15,000).

A female netizen sighed, “Is it really legal to rent like this? I didn’t even think regarding the mattress. (The landlord) is crazy regarding money.” She also pointed out that even if she was given 200 Singapore dollars (approximately NT$4,715), she would never pay for it. If you don’t stay in this kind of room, “your body will be destroyed if you live in it.” As soon as the post came out, it sparked a discussion, and many people suggested that they should report it to the relevant units.
