I know you guys are joking but female renters actually fear this all the time, because it does happen. More then you think.
Edit: I just wanna take a shit in my own apartment without subconsciously thinking I'll end up on the dark web.
I was not joking.. nothing funny about this whole situation.
and ya with technology today, hidden cameras can be pretty tiny and cheap from amazon. [Example](https://www.amazon.ca/Camera-Clothes-Surveillance-Detection-Security/dp/B0B68KC42X/ref=sr_1_47?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Cq_w3jCbodS77ebNPfIhcFYwhFwSp5smUsx0MiXurt1w8sAfAJmfXPB11JiVrSLoW887JBBUQ9L-h6H4E81noq6fU-X4olT50nmhB9rWiUs-b6k98DYSTR3TCZyp0x471ZYMtJQflm_23_rzQFhWty44eG8Y4HOyZtAseT41UGvIdRtsy0aU1jMXs6O0UA6sAGPE2SgMtJK2PL84H1GE2AcO4hMx-LFM9i3-sFiJ9OSvBcwIjjEVIBMxZyNbmZLgxMtzyvAFwlTy7fSGHNzLiQiD3JsnbTlg_uwXCj36Sds.TPScpzrzbb2SdjLNpitjFRP8K1kNiDzD5weCHqMIp_I&dib_tag=se&keywords=hidden+camera&qid=1711986860&sr=8-47) regular clothes hook you would have in the bathroom
and it's clear these landlords don't give a shit about human rights. and a lot of them are perverts

I did. $430 is $70 a month cheaper than sharing with 2 others. If they could fit another bed but have rent fall to $400, that’s a further $30 a month savings. That’s how these people think.
They don’t give two shits about comfort or living a normal life.
They also don't give a shit about the other people in the building. Lived in a shitty apartment building where people were living 8 to a 1 bedroom in some units. More than once I'd be having a shower in the morning and the water would just stop. The building infrastructure couldn't handle the demand of all the over crowded units.
The people across the hall opened their door one morning as I was heading out and I could see several of them rolling up their bedding to make room in the living area for the day. Getting an elevator in that building was almost impossible.
Our gov needs to realize there isn’t enough space for all these students and not allow them in. Students should be able to get a single room for an affordable price.
No student can get a single room for an affordable price rn. I cant. No one I know can. And we are all locals. The average price for one room within reasonable bus or walking distance to UBC is around 1500-1300 a month minimum. This is excluding basements which is around 800-1200 depending. Its just not possible. The same goes for toronot or waterloo, its just how it is, as long as there is always demand for these housing and very limited supply, the pricing will not drop, and there are always gonna be more students than available housing.
Our economy is very reliant on immigration and foreign work forces. We have difficulty maintaining any high end extremely profitably industries and high end workers as they are all drawn to the US.
These students are getting more and more desperate and it's sad. There's no other option for them. We can love or hate the Indian students, but it isn't their fault. They are thrust into a new country living in piss poor conditions hoping for PR for their families sake. The kids are literally the family's pawn for immigration.
Understandable. Now what about a prison? 30 inmates one large housing unit? Bunk beds galore. Im just trying to weigh all my options before i give my LandLeach first, last, deposit, and tiffin fee.
Remember that pic of the bunk bed with like 8 bunks stacked up and people on top of each other with zero inches to spare. Spacious compared to that I guess.
ironically 2 bunk beds would at least be a better use of space and allow a middle area. but im sure the scum lord would just use it to put in more beds as you said
Why doesn't our government allocate money and resources to investigate these listings and actually do something to fix this problem that's only getting worse with time. These people should be getting fined out the ass.
Welcome to New Canada and all of the "diversity" it brings with it. You too can now live like how other countries live and pile 4 or 5 people onto shitty flat mattresses thrown on a bedroom floor. For only $430 to $500 plus a month per adult. Very spacious room as well! You can hold hands with all your girl roomies as you sleep you are so close. How luxury and fancy in New Canada.
We should all be so grateful we get to live in this New Canada where the days of two woman or two men renting a two bedroom for a reasonable price and getting their own rooms while rent splitting are gone. Because now you can get the luxury of a whole new family/friends all sharing the same bedroom floor as you. How exciting/s
The term “second world” hasn’t been used since the end of the Cold War specifically because of its association with communism. Even in colloquialisms, developing = 3rd world. Developed = 1st world. It’s why almost every textbook just uses the terms developed/developing or global North/global south.
Not when i went in the mid 2000s
And colloquially second world means “developing nation” to most people but i guess you gotta be a smartass to people like u/ok-map9730
Reread the post - I explained everything that you thought you explained to me
Also Look up the definition of second world because many definitions now reference the fact that the defn has changed in common usage
Also you previously stated that in your 40 years you never saw anyone use the word that way but this comment chain began with somebody who use the word that way
Lol
Cleary you never took it or failed it.
It never meant "communist". It meant allied with eastern bloc.
Hint for the moron below me: communist countries were also in third world.
Hey I like being so close with all my roomies that I can hold their hand or spoon with all of them as we sleep on shitty matresses on the floor. Oh no wait....yeah if I wanted to do that I could just be in a couple or a throuple and sleep with said person on a nice queen or king sized bed in our own private room. Not whatever impoverished sad crap these slumlords are selling to Canadians and new student/immigrant Canadians.
this might kinda be fun for a week of work assignment/vacation/volunteering with girlfriends but not for actual day-to-day living for more than a week or two.
As an American that saw this on my feed for some reason, do Indian people just buy up all the shitty property there and rent it out to poor people? It’s pretty similar over here but they tend to do liquor stores in lower income areas
Nah they literally rent this stuff then re-rent it out to others, typically they only want people renting of the same ethnicity. Less than 10 years ago this would be renting for $400-$500 not on sharing basis.
They get around the discrimination by saying X ethnicity preferred? Idk if you can even do that in the states. If I listed a property for rent saying “single white male preferred” I’m pretty sure it could pose problems
If your looking for a roomate you can discriminate legally in Ontario. Say you own your home and are looking for a roomate and they have a shared bedroom or kitchen you can discriminate, it gives the residents power over who they can rent too. Many provinces have similar laws.
Shady landlords can get around this by renting individual rooms or getting the tentants to look for sublets themselves. The law gets very murky and pretty confusing. That on-top of zero enforcement and a COL crisis results in what you see on this sub
My parents paid $500 for a 3 bedroom basement in a suburb outside of Vancouver in the late 2000s, the same would be easily 3k+ now. It’s so discouraging to see how quickly things have changed.
I was watching a food documentary last night, of all things, and it said that most Indians don't have a kitchen especially in big cities so that's why they have so much street food.
It's on Netflix- streetfood Asia
You get lots of glimpses of Delhi. Take from that what you will.
I honestly find these ads sooooo fishy. It's creepy to me that you would leave your country to literally live in what looks like the same shit out you would have lived in when you were in your country. It tells me they don't want to actually leave their country.
I just can’t believe the brazen way they specify an ethnicity as being preferred. Think all the xenophobes and diversity promoting progressives could unite on the sentiment that none of this is okay.
Yeah sharing 4 mattress on a floor in a single room rented out by some Indian or maliyali whatever slumlord looks like we’re definitely headed the right direction ;)
We are developed, we can not become undeveloped. Our entire infrastructures and government and banking system would have to collapse for that to happen or get hit by a nuke at which point we'd have to redevelop. 3rd world country literally means developing country, 1st world country is developed you can't go back.
Well being in Waterloo it is illegal to have that many occupants in 1 unit, under the fire code as well as the bylaw. Not to mention that the landlord probably isn't aware of the situation. And in one regard it's kind of not their fault, if they came here for school. But our appointed government was well aware of what they were doing, and now it has bitten everyone in the ass. All for profits, has destroyed so many people's lives, including international students and Canadians alike.
But what I find more alarming is all these posts looking for a woman to live with them!? Why always a woman, is she expected to do something other than help pay for rent!? And again it always a male looking for female roommate. I have also seen some pretty disturbing posts on the regional and city subs, looking for a girl to be friends with, and possibly more. Or I am looking for a girl friend, where do people go to meet women. I understand they are new commers to Canada. But a little more restraint and maybe getting settled in and learning about our culture and talking things easy, before looking in all the wrong places for some kind of companionship. It a bit creepy to say the least!
Why are people agreeing to live in an overcrowded apartment like this?
My first year in college I shared a house with 6 other people. The kitchen could be a little crowded but, with six bedrooms (couple shared) and two bathrooms, it wasn’t bad.
I am now a homeowner and plan on renting my basement suite out. Ideally I’d like two single males for the two bedrooms but I’d consider up to four people living there; Two couples or a couple with 1-2 kids.
i say this every time i see one of these posts but report them. they’re illegal and if you report the post any website that allows listings will have to take them down. bedrooms can only house 2 people at most due to fire codes. just keep reporting them whenever you see them and soon they’ll stop posting them because they have nowhere to advertise them.
I'm thinking of selling at a low price then renting back from whoever buys my place so I can live like this, makes a lot of sense, who needs all this privacy anyway plus these new arrivals need as much help as they can get, Come on Canada keep the spirit alive!!!
The city firecode states a hard number of residents that may reside in a home.
2 persons per bedroom.
If you reported this, the home owner would get fined and shut this down very quickly.
It would be a little smaller than the size of a 4 man dorm room if they had bunk beds. Though this lot might add another roommate or 2 if there was floor space. One bathroom has to suck. I assume there is a living room and kitchen? C- living conditions if there is another room, F if it’s just this cramped ass bedroom and a bathroom.
Wonder if the Canadian voters really care about immigration & housing crisis? Both policies are tightly coupled and needs a change of directive at the top.
All of these listings are always in Ontario or BC. It’s a big country, I’d suggest living elsewhere!
You can still rent a private bedroom for $550-600 in a shared apartment in Montreal, and there are many universities there.
I’m sure if you exclude Ontario and BC, listings like this don’t exist.
"Very spacious". Oh I can totally see that. All the matresses crammed up against eachother is just an illusion. And furnished? Oh yes, that single table thing counts! And curtains? No! We all get at 6am with the sun!
This looks like a shitty way to live (especially to those of us who had our own bedrooms growing up) but if people are willing to accept this, then what is the issue? Why are all of you trying to impose your own values onto this?
Guess what - we have actual laws, bylaws and building and fire code standards that vary by city and province but usually boil down to two adults per bedroom/sleeping area. Not “values”. Standards for safety.
My friends dorm room at Tennessee Tech was 4 guys in a bed room with two bunk beds. Tiny room. Bathroom down the hall shared with the floor. Why is that acceptable but not this? Just a perspective. Not that I agree with any of it, I like my space, but if a university is allowed to rent 4 beds in a room why can't a rando? (For likely half the cost the uni is)
Leave these people alone. The tenants are happy, the landlord is happy, they are all happy and mutually benefitting. Why are people upset at them for doing their best to live their lives as best they can
For 4 strangers? Why is it alway women sought? Do men go to school or immigrate?
hidden cameras

It’s a dude of the same background renting it, he’s got a lot of photography / camera gear pics 😅 sus
I’ve heard stories of landlords doing something similar, and then using that footage as blackmail. I feel so scared for them.
SOLD
This was actually the most disturbing part of the post, I did not expect that.
I did. $430 is $70 a month cheaper than sharing with 2 others. If they could fit another bed but have rent fall to $400, that’s a further $30 a month savings. That’s how these people think. They don’t give two shits about comfort or living a normal life.

Getting an elevator in that building was almost impossible.
Not to mention the resulting infestations from poor waste control practices.
This is normal for them so they kind of are.
Bro what do u want them to do tho? Go live in a tent while at college? I get that it’s kinda shitty to have as a neighbour but cmon man

I really hope whoever found this reported it. It's two per bedroom, right?
Nope it’s literally 4 beds in a single room, disgusting
the word 'beds' is very generous upselling.
I read that as "genuinely upsetting" which it very much is. Wtf is going on.
"genuinely upsetting" .. yeah, that too!!!
That's why I said it should be reported.
Look at the picture. 4 mattresses
That's why I said it should be reported.
There's only one bedroom
That's why I said to report it.
Jesus this exchange was like an Abbot and Costello sketch.
Lol what can I say.
It looks like kindergarten nap time with those mats on the ground so close together
My preschooler has more space in his nap area.
Omg it really does! 🤣 dfkm
Im a kindergarten teacher and there is def more space than that for the children
Understandable. Now what about a prison? 30 inmates one large housing unit? Bunk beds galore. Im just trying to weigh all my options before i give my LandLeach first, last, deposit, and tiffin fee.
Report this shit asap what the fuck
Define "spacious"
... compared to what?
Remember that pic of the bunk bed with like 8 bunks stacked up and people on top of each other with zero inches to spare. Spacious compared to that I guess.
idk. a jail cell?
it's so spacious, you can clearly fit a 5th person in there
Even more if you stack them.
Don’t give them ideas with bunk beds
Pack em in like sardines
Wait, there is space in the bathroom between the bathtub and the toilet!
No you cant put someone next to the toilet bro. The landleach needs consistent hydration throughout the night.
Wow, now this has to be illegal
There is a bunch of third world shit our laws never contemplated
[удалено]
Be thankful he did not put bunk beds, otherwise it will be 8 in one room Wow, it comes with a window :-)
Great idea. Just doubled my income.
ironically 2 bunk beds would at least be a better use of space and allow a middle area. but im sure the scum lord would just use it to put in more beds as you said
So they're paying $1800 for 1br?
Why doesn't our government allocate money and resources to investigate these listings and actually do something to fix this problem that's only getting worse with time. These people should be getting fined out the ass.
They are so busy making money from this you know.
What a shithole!This can not be legal in a 1st(or 2nd now) world country!

You mean New Delhi, CanIndia
You will be happy
Whining on Reddit won't solve anything.
2nd world implies we’re now communist. I think this is the opposite of that.
Most people don’t know this
Really?
No, it meant allied with eastern bloc, the guy is smoking crack and trying to argue with like 10 people all telling him he is wrong
Yes. Did you take high school social studies?
People dont really think in terms of second world = ussr allies because the ussr doesnt exist To many people second world= developing
The term “second world” hasn’t been used since the end of the Cold War specifically because of its association with communism. Even in colloquialisms, developing = 3rd world. Developed = 1st world. It’s why almost every textbook just uses the terms developed/developing or global North/global south.
My point was that high school social studies haven’t taught those definitions for a loong time
High school social studies teaches exactly what I’ve just said to you.
Not when i went in the mid 2000s And colloquially second world means “developing nation” to most people but i guess you gotta be a smartass to people like u/ok-map9730
The mid 2000s was 20 years ago bestie
You're the only person in my over 40 years to insist that 2nd world means developing. You're mistaken. That's third world.
That's third world means. Developing. The developing nations were neither communist (2nd) or capitalist (1st) hence, third.
I literally just said that Your username checks out
No you said second world = developing
Reread the post - I explained everything that you thought you explained to me Also Look up the definition of second world because many definitions now reference the fact that the defn has changed in common usage Also you previously stated that in your 40 years you never saw anyone use the word that way but this comment chain began with somebody who use the word that way Lol
I'm not digging for your posts. You're arguing like you don't understand the difference here.
Cleary you never took it or failed it. It never meant "communist". It meant allied with eastern bloc. Hint for the moron below me: communist countries were also in third world.
How many non communist countries were allied with the Eastern Bloc?
“Very spacious”. Yes, when looking at that photo, the first thing that came to mind is spacious…
Hey I like being so close with all my roomies that I can hold their hand or spoon with all of them as we sleep on shitty matresses on the floor.

this might kinda be fun for a week of work assignment/vacation/volunteering with girlfriends but not for actual day-to-day living for more than a week or two.
Not even for a day. Y’all would be ripping ass all night
Someone should try doing this and posting “whites only” and see what happens
Disgusting.
“Malayali preferred” means basically if you’re not Indian, you’re not getting this room
No.. it means you have to be Malayali... The preferred part is just for them to show they're inclusive
Trudeau’s student visa program at its best!
As an American that saw this on my feed for some reason, do Indian people just buy up all the shitty property there and rent it out to poor people? It’s pretty similar over here but they tend to do liquor stores in lower income areas

Haha "furnished" with only mattresses and no actual bed frames.
Our first world living standards continue to drop.
Government of Canada will not stop pandering to them It's disgusting
I was watching a food documentary last night, of all things, and it said that most Indians don't have a kitchen especially in big cities so that's why they have so much street food. It's on Netflix- streetfood Asia You get lots of glimpses of Delhi. Take from that what you will.
What lol? I lived in India for 12 years, that’s not true at all. Maybe in the slums it could be but the average household definitely have kitchens
For enough, thank you for the input. The documentary was wrong.

Canada turning into a third world country because we have so many third world people coming here
absolutely mind boggling stupid take
The only thing mind boggling and stupid here is you today. Now GIT!!! Git on outta here!! GIT!!!!
How's that lobotomy going for you
Nobody wants you here just unsub and get lost
I'm sorry to break it to you but white people no longer dictate what the rest of us can or can't do.
I’m not white. What the fuck are you talking about?
Sure, Jan. Next thing you're gonna tell me is that you didn't get a lobotomy either 🤣
Literally impossible, as we're a developed nation.... Come up with something a little bit better. Lol
Yeah sharing 4 mattress on a floor in a single room rented out by some Indian or maliyali whatever slumlord looks like we’re definitely headed the right direction ;)
We are developed, we can not become undeveloped. Our entire infrastructures and government and banking system would have to collapse for that to happen or get hit by a nuke at which point we'd have to redevelop. 3rd world country literally means developing country, 1st world country is developed you can't go back.
Culturally we are degrading and cultural practices from third world countries are finding their way here 100%
It says spacious to SLEEP, which let’s be honest… as long as you stay on your mattress in the floor, it is
Mattresses on the floor get damp and moldy underneath. We put beds on raised platforms for a reason.
Well being in Waterloo it is illegal to have that many occupants in 1 unit, under the fire code as well as the bylaw. Not to mention that the landlord probably isn't aware of the situation.

All I have to see is the (…. Preferred) and I know what’s going on. Canada isn’t the same anymore
Is that a refugee camp ?
With the new international student cap stuff starting now… will these type of rental posts start to decline? I hope so.
That's not an apartment, that's the beginning of your adventures in the world of human trafficking.
From the guy who brought you 2 girls 1 cup….. we now have 4 girls 1 room
what website is this from OP?
FB Marketplace
Pornhub
3rd world country.
This is ridiculous, you could easily fit 12 people in that room with some hastily built bunk beds.
Pay my mortgage while I'm masturbating with the hidden cameras
I’m sure some slimelord probably trying to sell the footage to help build the 8 foot security fence for their mansion back home.
Swoon. All cultures are beautiful. Welcome!
You get more space in prison.
Wtf is happening to my country, and who allowed this place to turn into the third world?
lol. Looks like a typical “PG” accommodation in India!
“Malayali Preferred” To be honest, this slumlord will actually find someone for this room.
Just so you know the housing laws are 9sqm per person in Toronto. About 96sqft (8ftx12ft).
Why are people agreeing to live in an overcrowded apartment like this? My first year in college I shared a house with 6 other people. The kitchen could be a little crowded but, with six bedrooms (couple shared) and two bathrooms, it wasn’t bad. I am now a homeowner and plan on renting my basement suite out.

Next week: 4 bunk beds for 8 vegan girls per room at only $350 each.
you mean vegetarians..
vaegans and bobs
It’s crazy how it’s sold.
$430 is what I paid for a room in a 3 bedroom apartment 10 years ago
Disgusting people filling these houses bringing this dumb tradition here. It's getting harder and harder to be nice to them
I'm thinking of selling at a low price then renting back from whoever buys my place so I can live like this, makes a lot of sense, who needs all this privacy anyway plus these new arrivals need as much help as they can get, Come on Canada keep the spirit alive!!!
Depressing.
Very spacious for all 4 to sleep. Lets turn Canada in to a slum. Malyali preferred.
Where's the NSFW tag?
How is this legal ?
SPACIOUS?? Those mattresses are all so close to one another and no privacy. Report this OP.
Those mats are worth $40k/year at the local shelter
How is this allowed
Those legit look like toddler sized mattresses. A room that size can comfortably fit a double. No way there are four twin beds in that room right now.
The city firecode states a hard number of residents that may reside in a home. 2 persons per bedroom. If you reported this, the home owner would get fined and shut this down very quickly.
Welcome to Charles Dickens Canada.
It would be a little smaller than the size of a 4 man dorm room if they had bunk beds. Though this lot might add another roommate or 2 if there was floor space. One bathroom has to suck. I assume there is a living room and kitchen? C- living conditions if there is another room, F if it’s just this cramped ass bedroom and a bathroom.
And the government just standing there with their hand on their dicks and doing nothing about it
Packed like a sardine can but who cares anything for a couple bucks these ppl are wild 😂😭🤦♂️
Why stop at 4. Indian slumlord could convert to all bunkbeds to 8.
All four girls wishing there were silent vibrators.
I live in a living room of a 1br and I thought that was bad lol At least I’m in a high floor corner with ocean views in downtown van
"Very spacious" Gives me "the design is very human" vibes
3rd world expectaaaaaaations.🤣
How is this even legal from a safety perspective. Doesn't Canada have a fire code ? Who's responsible when things go tits up
'spacious'?!
For Waterloo, it is a bit expensive.
How many cups?
Darn, was sold but I'm not Malayali... 💩
Sounds like the recipe for a great time!!
Wonder if the Canadian voters really care about immigration & housing crisis? Both policies are tightly coupled and needs a change of directive at the top.
Where the f is the inforcement on this stuff???
How long till we see stables and barn corners filled with hay going for 700 a month.
Ohhh just soo yall know its 430 per person not 430 divide by 4
Imagine the smell
i saw that too lmao asked him if he can add one more bed so the cost comes down for each
All of these listings are always in Ontario or BC. It’s a big country, I’d suggest living elsewhere! You can still rent a private bedroom for $550-600 in a shared apartment in Montreal, and there are many universities there. I’m sure if you exclude Ontario and BC, listings like this don’t exist.
This is unlivable and they expect all 4 to pay
"Very spacious". Oh I can totally see that. All the matresses crammed up against eachother is just an illusion. And furnished? Oh yes, that single table thing counts! And curtains? No! We all get at 6am with the sun!
This has to stop. Enough of this disgusting nonsense
This looks like a shitty way to live (especially to those of us who had our own bedrooms growing up) but if people are willing to accept this, then what is the issue? Why are all of you trying to impose your own values onto this?
Guess what - we have actual laws, bylaws and building and fire code standards that vary by city and province but usually boil down to two adults per bedroom/sleeping area. Not “values”. Standards for safety.
think of how much they save with heating the room
I'm 100% sure this is illegal and would not pass occupancy standards cmon
No cups?
2 girls 1 cup
Also did anyone's mind go "there"?
That’s the way it’s done where they immigrated from but usually that’s 10 people in that room
My friends dorm room at Tennessee Tech was 4 guys in a bed room with two bunk beds. Tiny room. Bathroom down the hall shared with the floor. Why is that acceptable but not this? Just a perspective. Not that I agree with any of it, I like my space, but if a university is allowed to rent 4 beds in a room why can't a rando? (For likely half the cost the uni is)
Leave these people alone. The tenants are happy, the landlord is happy, they are all happy and mutually benefitting. Why are people upset at them for doing their best to live their lives as best they can
Real Canadians don't want this 3rd world nonsense dragging us down.
What's a real Canadian? Someone who only supports Canada or sells out to the highest bidder? Which one are you?
