    larger than the smallest legal flat

    I truly don’t think I can believe this. That’s exponentially tiny, smaller than my childhood bedroom and that room was 10x5ft (3 x 2) which was a single bedroom, not having to accommodate space for a toilet, shower, kitchen, counters, etc. I barely had a dresser and a twin bed in that room

      The smallest living space you’re allowed to put for sale/rent in France is 9m², and those absolutely are a thing. They’re very common for example for student housing, but also former maid quarters, especially in older buildings.

      The English Housing Act considers that one person living in a 70sqft room makes it legally “overcrowded”, although there aren’t any legal minimal sizes to sell or rent a flat.
