Try finding a better spot for $40 in Canada or USA. I doubt it. It may seem trash to many, but when you have NO options and then see this, this is literally a life saver.

$40 a month? Really worth it

40 bucks a month ? in New York, smaller flat than that will cost $2,500 / month and they call it "LUXURY studio apartment"

Think positively 😂 at least you don’t have to to share a toilet with anyone else .

not that bad, furnish it a bit and keep it clean then its fine. put some kind of a curtain before the bed as a wall to block the toilet view. decorate the toilet walls with greeneries and pretend you're living in the ghibli world.

Honestly, $40 is not a bad deal.. something the size of this in other countries you'd see them pricing it over 300-400 minimum

The landlord made use of every nook & cranny.

still better than human cage

At least put something to separate it

still better than homelessness

If it sold the same day it went on the market, it was under priced.

I live in California and many years ago I heard that some people were renting a sofa to sleep for US$200.00 monthly

Compared to capsule hotels this is a mansion.

A room with a personal washroom for only $40 a month and people are complaining?

Here in Hong Kong this is luxury housing

Tbh its not bad as long as you cover the bedside with plastic cover to prevent the odor from entering. I think the bigger concern is what happens when the toilet isn't working...

It is important that this flat exists, for two reasons. Number one, and of course number two.

I legit wouldn't care if it is that cheap

Worth the money for sure. Better than not having a house...🎉

Bed is extra, you can sleep on the toilet

"The room gives a chill vibe..." "No need for A/C as living here makes your heart cold..." Pffft!!! He's really dipping into nothing here.

Shouldve added galvanized steel beams

Even pandas lives in a better enclosure than this horrendous hole

how much does it cost to stay one night in a capsule hotel. Multiply that by 30 and compare.

"Look fine to me" - harry potter

“Imagine going back to this home after a long work day. I wouldn’t have the will to live.” Listen, anybody renting that kind of place (imo) has lost their “will to live” a long time ago.

I’ve lived in a very small place, of course not that small but for the quality of life the city provides… YES it’s mine

Wow, that a roof over the head complete with private use of toilet & shower. Come to Singapore to learn more about the rates here!!!

In Canada this would go for 600 dollars.

At least, they have a private toilet. It’s more inconvenient to rent a room and share toilet with 5 other people.

At least this place is much better than that @nextlastChang guy who is living now in India, where there is no decent public 🚽 toilet to use and no fresh water to drink and 🚿 shower and their roads were filled with trash and 🐄 cow's dropping 💩 all over the place.

Some mfker really said "we can convert the room under the stairs for more profit"

$1.3 a day for this and it is definitely a bargain. This is at least better than a camp site with absolutely no amenities.

How small it is no matter But the twist is keeping toilet and bed in the same place is extraordinary. No one wants to live like that.

This gives me hope and i thought renting my Dog cage to an irregular at 40$ was expensive

Don't mind me asking, but where's bathroom? 😮

this is actually a tiktoker, his gist is to find extremely small flats and comedic reviews of it

Namaskar 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Meanwhile in Rank 111 Hunger Index India, people still use Railway tracks and fields. Existing toilets built under government schemes often have no plumbing and are used as storerooms instead. Even in Modi's own state Gujarat, residents of Murlinagar Vadivas go to a jungle nearby to relieve themselves. Sobhaben Parmar, a local, said that women face more problems. “We have to go either early in the morning or after sunset. In the daytime, we can’t go because of privacy,” she said.🙏🙏

$40 a month for 2 years... Uber driving all day or as much as possible. A house is in the individuals future if they decided to stay here. This is the pressure that turns a coal into diamond, Life is dynamic... everyones struggle is different.

What city is it? The only thing is to the bed. You have to slide past the toilet. It would better if the toilet is not in front of the bed. Maybe add a door or something in between the toilet and the bed.

Where is the living room

I feel incredibly blessed to be renting an entire house (2 bedrooms) with a front yard and garage for only 100 USD. Remarkably, the landlord has not raised the rent in the nine years I've been here. Despite being located within a city here in the Philippines, I appreciate the affordability and stability of my living situation.

I live in a 2mx2m cubicle room at Sham Shui Po.

Short money with this house be thankful though

Why are people complaining most drivers are the village, they come to the city to work. Getting a space with own toilet, warm water, electricity and bed for $40 a month is not bad.

I live in 100O square feet apartment in Vancouver for 1 person have 2 bedrooms, but I prefer to live alone to avoid conflict with roommates

I'm on sect 8 in California $281 month utilities included except for the lights

😢😢😢 Modern times! What a progress made by humanity!

I am not shocked because housing is expensive everywhere and many a times people spend outrageous amounts just to live in a tiny box. Even with that tiny space the builder could have done things a little differently and that space could have looked a little better.

Getting a rental in my city is very, very hard at the moment. It probably would be snapped up fast and as well even a couple would take it.

For 40 usd isn't that bad actually, I would just put something like a box over the toilet so its not there all the time in my face and everything else is fine.

under the stair area+ kitchen and toilet // in London someone rented the under the stair area for £300+

What a smaller place the world has become..

I love it, i would live there.

weird placement of the toilet but still kinda cool

I would definitely rent it

Creative never ends

I would and could live in a place like that. Ive lived in worse places. Well i was homeless and slept in old cars, alleys, spider infested areas, cold wet places, where ya hope ya had the card board to lay down on top of the wet duscusting floor. To some people that would be a 5 star hotel!!❤

This is so sad

If NY it would be snapped in under 60 seconds at that price and you would have 5 people living in it

I would love it just for the chance to decorate it.

I hope the food delivery driver bargained the rent down; $40/ 280 rmb is too expensive for this private hole, under the stair.

You are a wizard Harry. 👀

Is it a rented jail?

This would be called an artist’s luxury studio apartment in nyc

this is where harry potter died

A prisoner live better than most of the hardworking people nowdays

Sick, that should be illegal

Not bad. Many homes in Shanghai don’t even have flushing toilets

The standard rent is 200 dollars

And China has like 30-50 million vacant apartments…. Can’t the government create social/low income housing??

Landlord would probably go to the extent of renting out his washer and dryer when not in use. Oh goodness

If the Dursley’s got generous and gave Harry Potter more space under the stairs….😂😂😂😂

For $40 a month?! Wow!

If only they would make a new door for the bedroom, coming from the hallway.

Honestly decent for 40 bucks per month. Just needs to get the walls painted

Crazy....

Well if the bed was at least on a height it would have been OK. But then the whole appartment is beneath the stairs, so you can't raise the height of the bed.

Where’s the galvanised steel squares, screws from his auntie and wood veneers?

At least it's affordable.

Luxury studio, private bathroom, street view window, walkable shops nearby.

And this is what the great super power like to see their people live in .

nothing a galvanized square steels wouldn't fix!!

Sleep in your toilets guys 😂😂😂

That's a bathroom with a bed inside

Cheap is the key to survive in big city like shanghai

Not worth it...

you could move over to right next from your bed for a quick dump between your naps...how nice :)

This is what happens when architecture not able to bring new technologies or ideas or governments didn’t focus on specific important improvements in thing.

Coming to HK real soon.

There are millions of homeless americans who would look at this small abode renting for $40 a month as a gift from heaven. But its tragic and evil that the u.s. supposedly the wealthiest nation in the world is unconcerned about the millions of impoverished homeless citizens sleeping in dangerous tent cities or under bridges throughout the country.

I guess it is safer than being homeless and no cover in some countries.

Not sure I would do it...I would sleep in a tent

Cupboard under the stairs. Even harry potter wouldnt want to live in there

Hong Kong sub divided flats have new competition.

China never fails to dissapoint us

Keep in mind that places like this is only to sleep. Most of the time they are busy out there working.

Water 💧 and electricity included 😮😮😂😂😂😂

For 40 bucks a month I can be the landlord's footstool

Before you complain about the toilet, answer this... Have you ever tried lugging up a toilet on a flight of stairs?
