Australia Housing Insanity: Tent Outside, Full Use of Apartment, Cheap, $90 Per Week

• https://mishtalk.com, by Mish

Housing has skyrocketed beyond belief and so have property taxes and rent. Homeowners now stack bunk beds and rent out 4-person shared rooms for $120 a week.

Those who prefer their own private sleeping space, with full use of the associated apartment, can lease a tent out back for only $90 a week.

News AU reports Renters resort to paying for tents and shared rooms due to the high cost of living.

People have been so desperate for cheaper rent, they have even resorted to paying about $100 a week for tents set up in backyards and on balconies, that were advertised on Gumtree.

Others share a small living space, with a number of curtains strung up so each housemate can have their own space.
