Critics quickly pointed out that the bomb shelter room was far from meeting the standards of a habitable living space
SINGAPORE: Rising rental fees and soaring property prices have long been a concern in Singapore’s housing market. The latest controversy in this ongoing debate centres around a local landlord who has left Singaporeans in disbelief after advertising a “room” in the form of a bomb shelter storeroom for a hefty monthly sum of $650.
According to screenshots of the conversation posted online, the landlord described the unit as conveniently located, close to MRT stations, bus stops, and within walking distance of supermarkets.However, the shocker was the pricing structure: the landlord sought a staggering $1,400 monthly rental fee for the master bedroom and a surprising $650 for the windowless bomb shelter, which had limited space, a small bed frame, and a shelf.Landlady reportedly charged tenant $3.
