* ''Fanfic/BoneOfMySword'': Uraraka's student apartment is a small, one room place with a cramped bathroom with no shower, dirty water, flickering lights, an oven that doesn't work half the time, outdated locks, an improperly sealed door, and violent neighbors. This, combined with Uraraka's meager supply of food, leads Setsuna to get Principal Nezu to intervene and put her in the student dorms out of fear the gravity girl won't even survive her first winter there.

The poorest entries are sleeping in the street or sleeping in your car, both of which are particularly unpleasant and force rolls just to get a decent night's rest. (And the player is still likely to get robbed.) The next two steps up are a cube hotel, described as a closet with delusions of grandeur with the furniture folding out from the walls, and a shipping container converted into an apartment. Both have shared facilities, and cube hotel bathrooms are frequently occupied by gangs who demand 'protection money.'

Compare TheAllegedHouse, which refers to a housing structure that is barely holding itself together -- there can be overlap, but the difference is that Horrible Housing is primarily used to highlight a character's poverty. For example, a seedy, cockroach-infested studio apartment in an otherwise functional building counts as this, but not The Alleged House. Also compare CardboardBoxHome, the more extreme version. If someone lives in a derelict building that's not even a residential structure, it may overlap with NonResidentialResidence. See also the LonelyBachelorPad, which may devolve into this if said bachelor is very uncaring or apathetic.
