Cage home tenants hope that the transformation of subdivided flats into “Basic Housing Units (BHU) will extend its scope to cover other poor-quality housing, including cage homes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fong, 63, lives in an 800-square-foot unit<\/span> located in Yau Ma Tei, with 34 other cage home tenants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been disputes and fights between tenants,” said Fong<\/span>, describing the living conditions as extremely poor as he had also seen tenants “going to heaven” in the flat.<\/p>\n

Drugs may also be found in the flat<\/span>, he said.<\/p>\n

Having lived in his 3-foot-by-6-foot cage home for over nine years, Fong said that the affordable rent is one of the key reasons why he stayed.<\/p>\n

“In fact, I had considered moving into a subdivided flat with a separate bathroom a few years ago, but the monthly rent is just too expensive, costing nearly HK$4,000 to HK$5,000.”<\/span><\/p>\n

To protect rights of the grassroots living in poor-quality housing, the Society for Community Organization suggested the government to expand regulatory categories of subdivided units to cover cage homes, and introduce the concept of a minimum living area per person should be no less than 5.5 square meters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
