    even if there is a 50% drop in price, for a 350 sq ft, I presume it still be in the region of HK$5mil?

    $29,800 for a 350 sq ft flat? Not very good with money he is?

    The article says it's 555 sq. ft.

    "Citing sources, the Chinese-language newspaper said the tenant, who was not identified, had decided to forfeit a total of HK$44,700 (S$7,423) in penalties rather than move into the luxury 555-square-foot (51.5-square-metre) flat in J Residence, the condominium in the Wanchai district on Hong Kong Island popular with expatriates."

    The one below is much larger than the one above? Looks the same from the photos.

    Seems the sizes are all over the place. But there is a 555 sf ft one, 433 usable.

    (Only in Hong Kong would the size/price of the property be a topic in a murder. )

    Tenant is obviously new to Hong Kong. An old hand would be haggling for a rent reduction and giving guided tours.

    An old hand would also not live at J-residence when there are many more cost effective options, right across the street.
