Of course many of these so-called<br \/>\nbedsits are marketed at those who are desperate and who cannot afford<br \/>\nto pay the extra for a full sized home. Indeed, in many cases, the<br \/>\nresulting property is illegal and is eventually pulled down by local<br \/>\nhousing inspectors. But sadly desperate tenants in the UK are not<br \/>\nalone in having to put up with sub-standard housing so small a coffin<br \/>\nwould be more spacious.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Life in the not-so big Apple<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New York is one of the most expensive places to live. The average<br \/>\nrent for a property in the city is more than twice that of anywhere<br \/>\nelse in the United States. There are also rental variations within<br \/>\nthe city itself. As you might expect, Manhattan is the most costly<br \/>\nplace to rent a room or apartment, but Brooklyn comes a close second.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertyportfoliosoftware.co.uk\/demos.html\">Rental properties<\/a> are in great demand in the city and unless you can<br \/>\nafford to pay top dollar for a penthouse apartment overlooking<br \/>\nCentral Park, you may as well get used to spending a fortune for the<br \/>\nprivilege of living in a tiny cupboard sized room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unhappy tenants<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One disgruntled resident has taken to blogging about his unhappy<br \/>\nexperience of trying to find a normal sized abode for a reasonable<br \/>\nrent and some of the pictures on his blog defy belief. Imagine having<br \/>\nto live in a tiny room with no natural light and bare, concrete<br \/>\nwalls. And even worse, imagine the pain of having to pay $1k per<br \/>\nmonth for a space barely large enough to squeeze in a double bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With rental accommodation in the UK so much in demand right now, there have been lots of stories in the press about &#8220;beds in sheds&#8221; and other miniscule homes to rent.
