US Politics | ‘World’s worst rental’ as for £210 a month you can rent a one-man TENT on someone’s grotty patio
A RENTAL listing has been slammed after it offered tenants the chance to stay in a one-man tent on a patio for £210 a month. The tent was offered by a desperate tenant who decided to rent out the garden space in an attempt to afford her own bills amid the cost of living crisis. 
The tiny tent is wedged in a corner on the advertiser's back patio

At least the garden has a chair The ...rental... in Palma, Majorca, is placed on an old patio floor next to a terrace and large garden. The advertiser, a woman called Linda, said in the posting that the tenant has the right to use the kitchen and bathroom only \- and she is looking for ...quiet and independent... tenants.

Electricity, wifi and water are included in the £210 rental price, but a deposit of £220 is required before a tenant can take up residence in the tiny tent. Costs of renting property in Palma have risen by 43% since 2014, according to the National Ministry of Development. The habitability conditions required by Spanish government state that a living area must have at least six square metres of space, making the tent advertised by Linda far below the minimum requirement. Illegal tourist rentals are becoming all-too common in Mallorca, which has seen soaring costs of rent since the pandemic and recent inflation rates. READ MORE WORLD NEWS
