What is a Monster House?

A "Monster House" is a term used to describe new, large structures built in older neighborhoods that often involve the illegal rental of rooms.

These houses can be significantly larger than the surrounding homes, leading to various issues such as increased traffic, strain on local infrastructure, and disruption of the neighborhood's character.
