Company housing is used in The Netherlands to pay people below minimum wage. Migrant workers (often seasonal) get paid minimum wage to work in agriculture, in fulfilment centers or similar jobs and have to pay a very high rent to their employer for renting subpar housing. That way the employer effectively pays less than minimum wage due to money flowing back in the form of rent. Terrible all around.
Due to the housing crisis and people not being open to rent out their home to migrant workers this is often their only option.
