Is someone really filming these ruins?
Each of us rented a house at least once in his life. If not, then you are terribly lucky, we are jealous. And if for half of us renting an apartment is a way to live separately, for the other half it is a way to make money. And sometimes people try to make money on very indecent offers. Yes, there are apartments that are more luxurious than the palaces of the Queen of England. But there is another extreme – houses, which are scary to look at even in a photo. And if you imagine what the smell is … Brrr! We have collected several such apartments – it seems to us that it is a shame to even show them, let alone rent them out for money.
Meet our favorite. This is an apartment in the center of Samara, for which they ask 12 thousand rubles a month. The house is an absolute wreck. It’s scary to even approach this. Inside – the usual “grandmother’s” apartment: old furniture, frayed wallpaper on the jambs, a rug on the wall. When it’s the setting in your grandmother’s house, it’s even touching. But I don’t want to live there. Especially when you look at the kitchen. And the efforts of the realtor, who made extremely mediocre photos, I would like to note separately.
And here is a studio in St. Petersburg. According to the owner, some cosmetic repairs are needed there. Look at the photo with a high chair in the bathroom – cool, right? But if the tenant does not want to do the repairs, the owner agrees to rent the apartment for 20 thousand rubles. For a moment, the area of the studio is 18 squares. Common, not residential. In fact, this is a closet, which is not far from the homes of the poor of Hong Kong. Yes, they are even worse, but that’s bad enough.
For 4 thousand a month you can rent this charm: an unfurnished apartment with no signs of any repairs in the center of the city of Kurgan. Plank parched floors, dirty walls, a rickety chandelier, shabby plumbing. A separate pride of the owner is the balcony. It is large, without junk, so a third of all photos in the ad are dedicated to it.
If the author of this ad tried to emphasize all the wretchedness of the proposed housing, he succeeded. In the photo – a refrigerator, the upper corner of the wall with a clothesline for drying clothes, a creepy bathroom. Everything.
“Clean, comfortable” – the realtor describes this apartment. Judging by the photo, he is desperately disingenuous. Why the agent took off the pieces of furniture at all is unclear. Moreover, the furniture is badly shabby. I managed to convey the main thing: poor, but neat.
8 thousand rubles plus a communal apartment. Residents of the capital regions will find this price negligible. But let’s take a look inside. There is a barrack-style house in which there is an attic, but no toilet. He’s obviously outside. There is also a well with drinking water. Doubtful neighborhood. The cherry on the cake is stove heating. And this is not a village, but a regional center!
“The price is a gift!” – the realtor writes in caps in the ad. Well, you know, if this is a gift, then perhaps to the owner of the property. It’s scary to enter such a house. True, the owner graciously offers to make repairs at the expense of the rent. “The walls are aligned” – apparently, this argument makes everything better.
An apartment in the historic center of the city, and even in a historic building – what could be more romantic. Answer: whatever you want. A tattered staircase, creepy furniture, hellish wallpaper that seems to be pasted over not only the walls, but this very furniture, the toilet, the cistern of which is covered with two tiles. And why there is a plastic bag hanging next to the toilet, we will not even make guesses. “No animals!” – the owner categorically declares. Well, yes, God forbid, they will spoil the luxury atmosphere.
And in this ad, the realtor is trying to deceive a potential tenant from the very beginning, even in the smallest detail. “Linoleum” – said in the description. In the photo – the scariest plank floors. There is a stove in the kitchen, a wood-burning stove next to it (!), Opposite – a bath (!), A bathroom as if after the war. Ancient shabby furniture – and for all this the owner asks 23 thousand rubles. By the way, for that kind of money you can rent a decent kopeck piece in St. Petersburg. And this is a kopeck piece in a suburb of Vladivostok.
Our favorites are the owners offering unfinished apartments. Some don’t even have a toilet. “I will rent it preferably to a student who will make repairs at his own expense and will live in a non-smoked apartment,” the owners formulate the advantages. Where they will take such a student who is ready to bang a million for repairs (from scratch, recall, even the walls are bare concrete blocks), and then safely move out two years later (the owner offers so much), we do not know. But we would like to be such a student.
