A mistake made by an online housing company has cost a southwestern Chinese woman a home and over 100,000 yuan (about $15,000) in personal belongings, according to reports.
The woman, Ms. Wang, was in the process of moving apartments. She left many of her belongings in the Chengdu, Sichuan Province, apartment in January, and on March 5 finally returned to clean up her remaining belongings.
But her key wouldn’t open the lock.
A man then came to the door—one of the three living there—and asked what she was doing. “This place has been rented out, hasn’t it?” he said, surprised, according to the March 18 report in West China Daily.
