Weigh less, pay less

Osaka —You think your rent is too expensive? How about you drop a few pounds, and we’ll drop the price. Sounds like a gameshow, but Lady Share House B&D are doing exactly that. Tenants are weighed every three months, and starting with a minimum rent of ¥38,000, rents are calculated by multiplying their weight in kilograms by ¥1,000. So if you weigh 50kg, you pay ¥50,000. If, three months later, you drop to 45kg, you pay ¥45,000. The share house has an exercise studio, beauty spa and free lectures on weight loss for tenants to encourage them to keep their bankbooks and the scales low.
