China renter converts flat into chicken farm, causing foul odor, damage to property
Shocked landlord returns to flat after two-year hiatus to find chickens roaming and flying around, says property needs complete redecoration
A landlord in Shanghai whose flat has been turned into a chicken farm by the tenant who raised dozens of birds there has trended on mainland social media.
The unidentified landlord had not checked his house for the past two years until earlier this month and he was astonished with what he found when he opened the door, Dianshi News reported.
The sitting room was full of coops and chicks roaming and flying around the property, according to the landlord.
“It stinks. Both the floor and the wall are badly destroyed. It needs an overhaul and should be decorated completely, otherwise, no one can live there,” the landlord was quoted as saying.
“I am so infuriated!” he added.
He added that the combined rent for the past two years would be far less than the cost of redecoration.
