This happens in South Africa too. Building in the city centre gets hijacked/stolen by these "landlords", that divide all the existing rooms using makeshift materials, and then charge rent for basically living inside a shack inside a stolen abandoned apartment building. Very dangerous, one of these buildings burnt down recently and a lot of people died.

For those that want an international source, CNN did some coverage on it
