Discussion $1250 Room For Rent

Welcome to Kamloops - check out this forlorn room for rent for $1250. Note the door crudely mounted in a frame that’s open to the ceiling. It has a TV that’s 6 feet off the ground & perched on a plywood shelf. Most of the furniture is homemade poorly. Metal folding chairs in the ‘kitchen’. Grim, grim times await whoever is desperate enough to rent it.

its ridiculous me and my friend are paying 1600$ for a crappy one bedroom appartment and he just sectioned off the living room to make a room, electricity and parking isn't even included which is absolute bs in an appartment building I've never heard of that before all the other ones I lived at were all inclusive, like if I didn't need somewhere to live I would never pay this shit we need laws againt this I can barely afford to eat and I don't spend money on anything else but bills and food....it's really disheartening that they think people on odsp can survive off less than 1400$ a month with how expensive everything is now
