Another sad thing is, that londlords may simply sell their house to a new owner, who can enforce a massive and highly noisy refurbishment before tripling the rent after a few weeks.
So, on a lucky day you may find a lovely apartment for $260 p.m. with a magnificent view from the roof top terrace on the Royal Palace and the river junction.
And then it may occur, that on one fine morning the sound of sledge hammers may arrive while knocking out floors and tiles right below your bedroom.
Then you may hear from the new house owner, that he wants to modernize your apartment and that you are welcome to rent it again, but for as little as $550.
And of course, there is absolutely nothing, that you can do about it, unless you have enough money to buy the house through a Cambodian middleman.
What a lovely view on the river and on the sunset sky over street 178.
