Council force landlord to stop renting out SHIPPING CONTAINER for £200 a week

A LANDLORD has been forced to stop renting out a shipping container after the "joke" home was slapped on the market for £200 a week.

The one-bedroom shack in Wellington, New Zealand, hadn't been fully approved by the local council and doesn't have a code of compliance certificate, according to local reports.Credit: Trade MeIt also comes complete with an outside washing roomThe property had been temporarily given the green light under a national approval scheme but that was pulled after inspectors noticed some structural errors.

The shoddy dwelling was advertised on Trade Me but was pulled down by a member of the platform's safety team just hours after going live. Built out of an old shipping container, the property has been dubbed "a joke" by exasperated renters after it hit the market for £200 a week. It's situated in the back garden of another property and comes with a parking space on a piece of lawn and has its own "laundry room" inside another small green shed.It comes fully furnished and includes a microwave, electric hot plate, bed, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer and cutlery and plates.
