Boarded-up New West house advertised as pricey rental

A woman searching for new rental housing for her household is speaking out about the high prices becoming charged for dilapidated properties.

Rachel Degraw has garnered notice for her research for a new house to hire for her loved ones. She’s seeking in Burnaby but not too long ago posted about a New Westminster house that was boarded up and protected with graffiti in the photo in a rental ad.

The price staying charged is $2,600 a month.

“Unbelievable,” Degraw tweeted. “Looks like a drug den.”

Degraw mentioned the possibilities accessible to men and women have been depressing as she queries for a home that can match three younger children, two dad and mom, and two animals.

“To obtain a family house in Burnaby that is ideal and glance the place they will settle for you, is pretty much not possible, specifically if you really don’t want to be paying out upwards of $4,000 and earlier mentioned,” stated Degraw.

Degraw wishes to remain in North Burnaby so that her young children is not going to have to transfer faculties and lose significant buddy groups.

“We want a residence the place we really don’t normally have to uproot little ones and move them from educational institutions and preschools and friends and local community centre activity and to exercise and all that terrific stuff they really like,” Degraw told the NOW.

Though frantically wanting for a new spot on platforms like Facebook Market and Craigslist, Degraw has also uncovered a development of backyard garden and basement suites getting offered for rent – not complete homes.

“So correct, you are going to be on the leading or the floor, on the top of the dwelling or the base of the dwelling. And we tried that when and with little ones, you know, you won’t be able to end their purely natural noise and that style of living is genuinely not practical. If you have kids, you know, bouncing balls or functioning all around actively playing or crying or regardless of what it may be,” reported Degraw.
