Would you consider a stigmatized property (事故物件) for lower rent?

I think many of us are trying to find ways to stretch the budget a bit here, whether it's working more overtime at current jobs, blogging more regularly right here on City-Cost (ever-grateful for this site!), or trying to find ways to be creative with things like grocery budgets and using up what we have in the fridge and pantry.

One thing that some people seem to be turning to as well, is renting what is known as a 事故物件 (Jiko bukken, or "accident property"). This basically refers to a property where a resident has died in the building.

Probably not the best for those of us that are superstitious, but a recent study by NEXER saw that some people are opting to go down the Jiko bukken route. At the end of the day, the motivation to pick one of these stigmatized properties all comes down to cheaper rent. 

There's a site called Oshima Teru, where you can check to see where these Jiko bukken properties are located. If I just put in my local area (town name/prefecture/postal code in Japanese) it comes up with the map and you can search where these "accident properties" are located. The site even tells you how people in the homes passed away, which feels a bit gory. For example in my local area there's a suicide and a fire, and not far away in Muikamachi there is even a property listed with a robbery and murder which took me by surprise.

Each of those flame icons? That's a 事故物件 (Jiko Bukken), or stigmatized/accident property.

All of that to say, I'm wondering if any of the City-Cost community would go down the Jiko bukken route to save some cash. I don't know that it would be my preferred way of keeping some extra yen in my pocket, and I'd resort to just about anything else first. I didn't think I was ultra-superstitious, but the thought of it just makes me a bit uneasy.
