Looking for a sci-fi story I read decades ago!
This story featured a young couple who were looking for an apartment. They didn’t have a lot of money to spend and were very excited to find the perfect place, all the amenities, unbelievably low rent, well located, everything. The other renters were also young, and everyone was thrilled to have found such an unbelievable deal.
One day when everyone was at home the apartment closed up, everyone was trapped, and the entire building lifted off into space. It was a trap, designed to capture humans. I think the couple escapes in the nick of time.
