According to Hong Kong media outlet South China Morning Post, a homeowner in Shanghai, China, posted on social media that his apartment had been turned into a poultry farm by a tenant who raised dozens of chickens. He rented an apartment to a tenant for two years and was surprised when he opened it for the first time recently. The living room was full of chickens and chicks and the smell was vibrating.
He said "With a bad smell, both the floor and the wall were badly damaged. No one will be able to live there unless it is fixed to the level of reconstruction."
He also said the cost of construction would be higher than the total rent for the past two years combined.
A resident living nearby said he had reported to authorities about the stench coming from the area with other neighbors, but it was useless.
He added "The only change since the report is that the tenant has closed all windows in the house," he said.
The landlord posted on social media asking for advice on sanctions and compensation for tenants.
An attorney said "Chinese civil law stipulates that the landlord can terminate the lease if the tenant changes the purpose of use of the house""Even if the purpose of using the property is not specified in the contract, the landlord may demand compensation from the tenant if the house is damaged or damaged due to the unreasonable use of the tenant.""
There were also a flood of articles online criticizing tenants.
Netizens say "The tenant is too selfish. He did it because he didn't think it was his house", "How can you live in such an environment?", "You have to pay a high price for your actions.", Comments such as "'It's literally turned into a chicken house' are being posted.
