A converted shipping container being advertised as a one-bedroom home available to rent at nearly $400 per week will be investigated by council.
The Wellington rental, which was listed on Trade Me yesterday at the steep price of $390 per week for one tenant, was pulled off the website by a member of Trade Me s Trust and Safety team just hours after going up.
The makeshift dwelling has caused outrage and bemusement online, with commenters questioning whether it is legal.
It is located in Johnsonville and is just metres from the main house in someone s backyard, and the proposed parking space is a piece of lawn in front of the shipping container and separate utilities.
