If I count everywhere in the world... When I was growing up, me and my parents ended up renting some absolutely atrocious apartments that were close to where I went to school. The worst one was my middle school apartment... it was a tiny 1-bedroom for the three of us, don't think it had a real kitchen, AC barely works (actually I couldn't recall if it even had an AC), toilet clogged every other day, and once in summer the hot water broke down for an extended time and I had to take showers at the swimming pool I visit... To be fair, my parents grew up when China was a 3rd world country, so I guess the 3rd world country haven't left them at that time
If I only count in the US... It was not that bad per se, but I lived in a shady 500 sqft tiny house next to the one bar in my college town for two years. It definitely felt quite shady and wasn't exactly quiet at night. I've also had issues with the AC/heating and the metal pipe bursting once in winter. This place also gave me a peculiar core memory in college... I used to have a bucket by the front door to wash my car; once my school's football team had a big victory, and the next morning the bucket was just gone
Also honorable mentions to my AirBnB adventures when I was younger... which includes once when I saw my landlord being put under house arrest as I was returning to the bnb, once when I think I shared a place with a drug dealer, and once I managed to get myself homeless in NYC at 3am in the morning because the host didn't give me the room code & I couldn't get in the building
