unliveable
Impossible to occupy
Unliveable describes a place unfit for habitation—too dangerous, damaged, or lacking basic necessities: The mold made the apartment unliveable.
It extends to intolerable conditions: The constant noise made the situation unliveable.
Also spelled uninhabitable, though unliveable emphasizes the experience of trying to live somewhere rather than mere capacity for occupation.
