Not included in the final price is parking and air conditioning for $50 each, bringing up the grand monthly total to $1,150. Similar to other horror listings in the province, the unit received lots of attention on social media, with one TikTok highlighting the space amassing 40,000 views.The TikTok emphasizes the unit's exposed pipes, questionably low ceilings, painter's tape, and rough paint job, especially when positioned against its steep monthly rent.
While some speculated that the unit is probably not entirely legal, others rightfully pointed out that those looking for accommodations under a tight budget don't have the luxury of being too picky.
