The Iranian capital, Tehran, is becoming one of the most unaffordable cities in the world to live in.
High inflation, stagnant wages and rising house prices are pushing many into poverty.
Many are blaming US sanctions and government policies.
Al Jazeera’s Assed Baig reports from Tehran.

Iran is a country in the world that has not yet become an American broker.
Utkarsh Raj yes I’m from Bangladesh
The end of the dictatorship
Yep just like what u believed would be the end of the talibans..
And the west would flock there to pretend to help them.
LoL 🤣
Iran is more powerful and rich than u think IRAN will live 🇮🇷
They are just fooling us?
@Richard’s World Traveler they are fooling their own people.
No country no matter how it closes down its media, can hide the facts from those who read.
Iran has tried to hide the number of people who have died from Corona virus, but satellite images show the number of “hidden”, freshly dug graves as well as their “secret” nuclear facilities.
You mean the brutal regime is rich while everybody else lives in fear and poverty
@Avi Your trolling is as pathetic as yourself..but i understand your pain, after all your Israeli and Saudi masters are angry and frustrated..they’ve been defeated..Your masters in Israel and Saudi Arabia spent billions and propped up ISIS all and all to take over west Asia aka middle east but in the end they suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Iranians, of course they’re angry and upset.
A shekel have been deposited in your account.
regardless where you go….rent for all big cities are expensive…ridiculous ~ everything is increasing except salary
@Trust in God there has been a huge explosion at the Lebanese port.
I wait to read all the speculation, “expert” opinions and rumors…before any facts are known.
Pray for the innocent people of Lebanon who are suffering from Iranian/Hezbollah religious interference in Lebanon, which once was a Christian country.
Avi
Shill
@Arian Ansari Irani
You have such an Iranian style and eloquence of language; a fluent expression of emotion and persuasion as your sentence construction and vocabulary is striking and expressive, the way you articulate your views is riveting and forcible and at the same time so fluid in its abstract rubbish.
Avi
one word triggers that with you? Must have pushed the right button, shill.
@Arian Ansari Irani Good one. He’s a shill and Israeli troll. They’ve been defeated and humiliated at the hands of Iranians. Shilling and trolling is all they got.
I indian want to buy house in Iran
Just give up making the USA your enemies. Working with North Korea won’t help you either.
@xsv Donald Trump is gonna win.🤔🔥
@Isahak what about China and venazula
Loooool with whom the USA are friends …. i’m not talking About submissive friends scared of USA sanctions
Dopamine Chemical Effect Well I guess there won’t be any relations between them.
Who can work with Trump?
Nice report on Iran. More please 👍🏽
The perfect economic political system lead by Allah isnt working?
@Shaheed Uddin I agree Christian belief that Jesus is God is not logical.
But we dont fight over it .
We don’t kill one another over it
It’s a matter of faith on personal level.
Nobody is forced to believe
You liers had been killing one another for 1400 years over your illogical beliefs
One can believe in the most illogical thing as long as you dont cause violence
Islam is the most violent belief.
Your prophet told you kill those who leave Islam.
Logically what kind of prophets was he ?
Who gave him the right to teach killing people?
Show me the logic in Islam please?
@Shaheed Uddin 13 muslim countries have death penalty for leaving Islam.
@SimorQ yeah whatever u say stupid
@aravindp21 no it wasn’t stupid
@Shaheed Uddin so allah is less power compared to usa
shameless American government
Come to new york or any big city usa.
Rent is very expensive compared to salary
Yesterday I hit my knee against a piece of furniture and it hurt pretty bad. I too blame the American government for it.
Mi Movil yes， good job ，it’s all us fault🤬
Overthrow the Iran government
Why the US government, it is purely IR regime’s fault over her ego, stupidity, and ignorance!
Shut up Iranian people.
Your government is building you nuclear weapons, why not show some gratitude.
🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷❤❤❤
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤮🤮🤮
That REAL estate agent was nice honest man! In chile you.make 470 dollars a month and rent is 600! When you complain they will laugh at you and tell you to go live in a tent… Which is why people in chile are rioting
@Johnny Blaze when did i ever mention anything about riots in iran ?!
@Uncle Ruckus these westerners are so obesseed with Iran.
he had to talk about Chile or leave it.
@Dopamine Chemical Effect you need to find a wealthy rich wife
Lol
@Eray Bixin yes i clearly mentioned chile and he starts talking about guns in iran. They are obsessed with iran a country which is not bothering anyone
While the AYATOLLAHS are busy wasting these money on building bomb, sponsoring violence and war in middle east with billions of dollars.. why can’t they help there own people with these money
sounds like the US regime.
LoL 🤣
The more sanctions the more self dependent a nation will get thus making them much stronger and richer after some times of hardship
“A fire either burns a dough or turns the dough into bread”
Not really.
In any country under sanctions the more sanction the more citizens take a hit, to survive sanctions the goverment takes more from the citizens so that the regime survives.
the goverment sacrifices the poor and makes the middle class poor.
for example: in north korea the citizens taking all the hit so that the regime survive, in venezuela public services (like police) are being sacrificed for the regime survivel.
no one comes strong out of sanctions.
but iran is different from other countrys, iran wont sacrifice their citizens. iran will negotiate to lift the sanctions in the end.
Thinking or non thinking of a Muslim mind.
I just loved your statement, kind off TRUTH you have spoken,🤔🙏💐
@dor azati na the usa is on its way out it wont survive 5 more years and when its gone iran will grow
@craig h I heard some crazy prdictions before but this is the craziest.
2 world wars couldnt destroy USA and you think now its going to be destroyed.
you can hate them or love them but USA are going to stay a world power atleast for 100 years.
Typical rich vampires sucking the working class dry.
Some live in luxury apartments and drive luxury cars, meanwhile their brothers by religion starve and live crowded like animals
I thought Islamic people care about each other like brothers but they are more divided by power, money and level of income.
If its like this in Iran, the situation is much worse in the west
Serge Shoemaker Yes, very sad. The religious business should help by contributing some way. And those rich lot should give some money, or some form of assistance too. Stinking rich and showing off is so crass nowadays.
What about the Gospel telling you to sell all your belongings and distribute the wealth among the poor!
Amir Sayed see I’m not a fanatic Christian to do that
@Serge Shoemaker You must become one before preaching to others!
Hello guys tell me what type of government you all want?Answer it straightly and Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis,Afghans and Turks are not invited because fools should not be invited.
Good to know you consider yourself a fool.
Sher khan You?
@Utkarsh Raj I am a Pathan!
Sher khan wow Shahid Afridi.
China
USA is the biggest terrorist in the world
Dollar dollar! Fictional Reserve System! BIS! Reserve currency status! And so on!!!! 💶💶💶
Let me explain it to you. Iran is a net importer. Majority of companies won’t accept gold bars as payments, not that Iran even has any.
@Johnny Blaze Your trolling is very weak..IRAN exports . Iran is also a self sufficient country. This why the imposed illegal economic sanction against Iran is worthless. Now go collect your shekel and stop polluting the social media with your repeated nonsense and unsubstantiated claims and bs…
It will be a crisis till 2050. Then the population implosion will start to have unforeseen effects. Before most of us die the world will be unrecognisable.
Control population with the awareness and willingness.
Tehran is so beautiful, I miss Iran
Shouldn’t the title be “Tehran people struggle to afford rent as housing cost skyrockets.”? 🤔
exactly.
Weren’t you the guy complaing there ain’t enough white people in New York?…
@elwoodzmake yes
Go to San Francisco. Its ridiculous. The homeless have even taken over the city! Problems of high housing costs are prevalent everywhere.
Iran under Islamists is like this.
Go back to your cabbage farm
@Aryan nation Islamist troll
@Your Polish-Vietnamese guy Mixing rats and cabbage for your diet can make you dumb
@Aryan nation keep trolling
@Your Polish-Vietnamese guy I know you’re a shill and a Zio troll. I understand your pain..Your Israeli masters are angry.. They’ve been defeated and humiliated at the hands of Iranians. Go collect your shekel and stop your repeated nonsense.
Come to INDIA 🇮🇳🌏, Here Rent is more expensive I pay ₹13,000/- Indian Rupee is $175/- American Dollar. 💡4Rooms Flat in a small town I live in a village.🔥 I earn ₹15,000/- Indian Rupee monthly is $200/- American Dollar. 🔥My mother and my sister supports me. I’m unmarried 30year’s old. Place I said I live inn (West Bengal State, INDIA )🤔🔥
The property price bubble will eventually pop, as what has happened in other countries
But it’s been more than forty years since the revolution, so a competent government should’ve had a vision to make progress through industrialization and technology. Unfortunately the government seem to focus on their religion as political tool, instead of focusing on science and technology
Love from multan Pakistan
Here the usa has achieved its goal.
Go tell that to millions of homeless in US …
Iranians have good hearts. I wish to thank them for their kindness. I hope they will get better soon.
I’m not sure many people in Northern Syria agree.
@Johnny Blaze see what your isis did?
In india it’s called partishtha m pran gwana
Sacrification for attitude
Everywhere rents skyrockets. I have moved from London to Iasi in Romania. Total Rippoff in the west for property prices, even in Romania I find it too expensive for the value it provides.
yeah, its better to reduce the expensese
If the demand is more the local ppp will. Exploit as the greed inherent in humans
In smaller town you will see less of such things reason they’re not following a race of life as in bigger city either Tehran or Budapest or London.
Sanctions 🙃
are you happy ?!
Prayers, Dua for my Iranian Brothers.
No from Dubai❤
Instead of dua, plz read some books!
@Some Random Guy But Dubai is a fellow muslim country??? Why not wish well for your muslim brothers?☹️
@Arash sh Of course! Hopefully I’ll get smart enough to earn lots of money someday so I can help people. I’m not rich or powerful right now so I can only offer my dua for the time being. Oh only if I was a rich oil royalty…
@autorefresher1 Cause they are shias why else
The woman says earn 700 dollars per month in a liab. In India people live with 40dolar per month. Aljazera just report on our country also.
She does well for Iranian standards.
700$ at official rate …she makes way less at black market rate ! If you go to Iran with hard currency cash and exchange at black market rates will last you longer than in India !!!
Also see the living conditions of those earn 40$ a month in India.
so what? if al jazeera does a report is your salary going to go up? No, you can thank Modi for that.
Who cares? That brutal regime deserves it
The brutal regim dont pay rent
I recon Turkey and Caucasus states. They aren’t prepared to house Iranian refugees. Turkey already has 4 million Syrians living in it.
If a country is Muslim it means trouble
@Popeye u have eaten a lot of spinach, and ur brain has become spinach
Lol US is terrorist ! Look here at another example
Fair enough they deserve even more sanctions 👏
The prices they mentioned are at official rate !
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Exactly like in the USA where in New York for exemple the rent is unaffordable have you also tried Paris in France
The world used to be in a progressive state during Obama times. Now all are going backwards.
What!?
Iran can’t find money to fund Terrorist and yet this happen!
Beautiful cultural Iran needs to go to its ancient Aryan way of living. Go to roots. That will end all the Iranian problems. it will be prosperous with its intelligent ppls & natural resources.
😂😂😂
Funny how Khamenei whines about zionism without doing anything to Iranian oligarchs. They keep their money in UAE and most recently in Turkey. How about trying to stop a capital flight first.
Tough situation for Iran, but you have to admit even through 40 years of sanctions Tehran looks beautiful, clean, sophisticated and organised.
Johnny blaze. @ 👍👍👍
U nailed it bro well said 😂😂
@Johnny Blaze this is not North Korea. reporters don’t have “guides” with them.
@Johnny Blaze Tehran is not a dangerous city, there are not dangerous parts, poorer parts yes, but not dangerous.
@Johnny Blaze Tehran is safer than Paris
@Johnny Blaze that applies to every country and city in the world
Al Jazeera is FAKE NEWS
Lift the sanctions
Instead of spending billions in Syrian and Yemeni civil war to kill millions Iranian government should’ve spent it in Tehran.
Aapko ko bhi maalum hai ke herzbollah jisko Iran fund karta hai, wo israel ko 2006 mein soot chuka hai, lekin aap ye bolte tak nahin kyun ki nafrat shiaon se hai, israel se thodi hai.
Note to self:
Buy a house. Dont rent. Get own building to rent out.
You need money for that 🤔🔥 to build a building and after renting it to a tenant.
@Dopamine Chemical Effect Noted 😉
Sanctions……
Welcome to America pal!
Awww rent is too high… have you thought about eating your rich?
JUST GET A RV.. CAN MOVE AROUND..👈
Stay strong Iran 🇮🇷 💪
Why just Iran?? This is almost everywhere in the world right now. The world is suffering and people have gone mad everywhere. Look at US.
Iran can be one the richest countries in the world…
ahahahaha, Iran shall collapse. And South Azerbaijan will be free from Iran!
you wish
Ottomans were gay
As a Georgian, Iran has an old culture like us. My pray for Iran to overcome the darkness of this evil Khamenei government and sanctions.
this ship is sinking…….blup
We have a similar housing crisis in Chile here. Hope we can get pass together.
iran, after spreading terrorism in syria lebanon iraq enough, you should learn to concentrate on your poor inferior economy.
I Really Like Iran And Its People. I’ll Pray That Persia Does Not Get Embroiled As An Enemy
Same with Shanghai ，Beijing
$10000 a month? I guess the sanctions didn’t work. Many people with money
$700 a month she earns more than most people in the UK.
Whatever slave
Thy have very very little Taxes, extremely low price for Car fuels and petrol
Recently American has killed their general …..now if they don’t spend money on Army then they will be on mercy on Israel and America…….so Every Muslim country should spend money on their defence……Crusaders and Jews support each other
Step back and notice: too many people.
Iran, hard to remember where it is;
Persia, on the other hand…
IRAN literately means “The Land Of The Aryans’..
Despite the shortcomings of the current government, it’s really the US’s fault for all that’s going on there.
Lmao yeah, I’m sure…..
They still need a lot more for projects in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon. Be patriotic and thankful with what you get.
Something just now blew up in Lebanon. Was it your money too?
It’s not Tehhhran with an arabic inflection, it’s tehran. It’s not an arabic word, the country is not arabic, the people dont speak arabic.
I’m probably seeing things here – but Iran looks like a normal functioning country that is peaceful and safe. The people there seem nice and law abiding. Why are there even sanctions on Iran? What is there to be afraid of?
Love Iranians but hate the Government
What are u talking about? Iranians are all in US, LA or IN TORONTO
You just won the internet’s most stupid comment of the day!
The enemies of Israel are always in trouble
God hates Israel..he called it ‘SPAWN OF SATAN’
Put down your arms and come to the free world. Why let your people suffer. What is wrong with the government
2:09 you have money to bleach your hair but can’t pay rent?
Not to mention the Iranian weapons explosion in Beirut a couple hours ago
Jesus seats at the right hand of God, his Father. Jesus is the son of God. Yahuah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is to be worshipped in spirit and in truth through His beloved son Yahshuah. Repent, for the Kingdom of God is near. Salvation is through Yahshuah (Jesus)… THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!
john 8.44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. john 8.44
It is everywhere the same all over the world
Been there, love tehran, really nice city
Pak Iran brotherhood country
Love From Pakistan
As USA sanctions are making lives of innocent people miserable, China wants to invest more than $400billion in Iran. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
how is this an international es?
the US are strangling Iran
Same crisis all over the world
In the times of the prophets there was no rent to pay but coz of corrupt people that came after the prophets ruined everything by being greedy and hungry for money. Wealth will destroy all and that’s a fact. Goodluck to u all when Allah asks why didn’t u wealthy people not help the poor remember when u die your money wont go with you.
This is nothing more than sowing intrigues and discord. The reporter is reporting rental of $2000 – $10000 a month. Is this the norm? Like 50% of Iranians live like this?
First people should cut off the broker/agent/middleman..because of their greediness price goes sky high…
Muslim countries bare destroying seems Allah hates us !!
In Pakistan we don’t get 1$ per day by doing work whole day!! Please make video on us our poverty
This is all thanks to US and it’s sanctions
One of the reason I support Iran because their people truly love and faith towards Sayyiduna Ali Hassan And Hussain AS.. Until now Iran still independence on their own country!
