Xiao Su rents the secondary bedroom of a flat in Shilipu, Chaoyang District, for 1,200 yuan (US$196.08) a month. Her flat is situated near her company. She says she'll only rent an independent one-bedroom flat when her salary increases to 10,000 yuan a month. Although she can afford the apartment, at 2,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan a month, she thinks it is unnecessary.
