A one-bedroom dwelling made from a shipping container and garden shed in Wellington has been listed to rent, for $390. The room in Johnsonville is said to be suitable for one person, and close to the mall and local schools. It comes as students in Wellington call for better living support as an over-inflated rental market forces them out of the city centre.
