The house where Austrian man Josef Fritzl kept his daughter Elisabeth as his sex slave for 24 years is being rented out, with some paying up to $1200 a month to live there.
The house in the Austrian town of Amstetten was purchased in 2016 for $250,000 by Herbert andIngrid Houska.
The pair renovated the house in order to "bury the past" and now rent it out for between $610 and $1200, The Sun reports.

Ten apartments have replaced the dull flats that Fritzl was the landlord of during his reign of terror over his daughter.
In 1984 when Elizabeth was 18 she was dragged into her father's lair where for the next 24 years she was raped over 3,000 times, bearing him seven incest children.
Three of the children were brought up in the basement with Elisabeth and wouldn't see sunlight until they were released in 2008.

Fritzl was able to raise the three other children by lying to police claiming they were dumped on his doorstep by Elisabeth who had run off to join a cult.
