> My first "apartment" was a 100 square foot bedroom rented in a 4 bed / 2 bath unit with 3 other residents.

That's called having roommates, why do call it not code compliant? It's done all the time.

Each room was rented individually from the landlord, so we were legally separate tenants, not just roommates all on the same lease.

The building itself was over a hundred years old, and had countless violations of modern building codes, health codes, and fire safety codes. It was pretty much a disaster waiting to happen, but it was affordable!
