The search for an affordable home in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»often means roommates, but what if you wanted a private space?
One potential landlord is to live alone (or with one other person). An RV trailer parked on the side of their house.
"I have a beautiful private mobile home RV which I am considering renting to maximum 2 people," reads a new Craigslist ad, noting no pets are allowed.
"This would be perfect to enjoy whole place (sic) and privacy to yourself or a roommate to save rent," they add.
That privacy runs $1,400 a month.
The RV trailer, which works like a bachelor pad (that is to say, it's all one room except the bathroom) includes a bed (which folds down over the couch) and a dinette that can turn into a bed. There's also a kitchenette with a fridge, sink, microwave and stove.
The offering isn't for a short period, either. The RV lord is looking for a one-year lease.
"This is a rare opportunity to independent living close to UBC, Langara, and VGH children's hospital," they write, noting it's near the intersection of West 41 Avenue and Granville Street.
It seems non-building based homes are a growing trend in the rental market, as this place follows another unusual offering.
Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» has asked the City of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»about this rental unit and will update once more information is provided.
Correction—Initially the trailer was misidentified as a fifth wheel. This story has been corrected, as it isn't.
