A listing on social media for a 'private room' in Brampton, Ontario, for $550 per month has sparked outrage after it was revealed that the space appears to be a converted bathroom with a bed and sink. Users on X and Reddit criticized the landlord and called for the listing to be reported.
Ontario 's rental landscape continues to be a tricky place for tenants operating under a tight budget, as a select group of landlords continue to capitalize on those strapped for cash by advertising cost-friendly accommodations that almost always come with a serious drawback — whether it be a complete lack of privacy or bizarre house rules. The latest listing to make rounds on social media this week is a private "room" in Brampton for $550 per month.
In a photo of the space, a sink can be seen right behind a bed, which barely fits into the snug room. Many on social media suggested that the room might've been a powder room in the past, given that there's no tub or shower visible. As expected, the landlord who posted the listing was met with heavy criticism, as multiple users on Reddit advised renters to report the listing as well as any other similar ones they come across.
"This is way out of hand. There needs to be public health laws that set parameters on what constitutes a healthy living space," one person wrote on Reddit. Unfortunately, this isn't the only unconventional space to have been converted into a "bedroom" in Ontario over the past several months.
