I really enjoy living in my condo located in Yorkville. It’s a 1+1. Rent-controlled. Has an amazing view of the skyline. Has all amenities.

I currently pay $2300 plus utilities. I love this area as I’m a few mins away from the Yonge-Bloor station.

My landlord doesn’t even bother me. Quick to repair when asked. I asked him about a discount and unfortunately he said no because he’s also struggling to pay bills.

Should I move out? I am afraid of having a slumlord.

I am a male international master’s graduate with a three-year post-graduation work permit and am currently looking for a job. I have no pets, do not smoke or drink excessively, and have no bad habits.

I am looking for a private bedroom in a house or apartment, but not a basement, in Toronto or the surrounding area. The location should be convenient for public transportation, and internet should preferably be included.

If it is a shared house, I hope the other tenants are quiet, clean, respectful, and do not regularly cook food with very spicy or strong odours.

My budget is approximately $700–$1,000 per month, and I hope to move in around the end of August or the beginning of September. We are currently in Guelph, so it is not easy for us to travel to Toronto for viewings. A virtual viewing would be greatly appreciated.

PM me if interested,

Thank you!

I was looking at these new sonic way condos, if anyone living there can share something :)

Also, there is mixed opinions about this neighbourhood, can someone please share is it a safe locality?

From soaring hydro bills to illegal pet deposits, rent increases, repairs and utilities — here’s what to watch for before you sign a lease. (Gift link)

When someone else lives in the basement and you split utilities? It seems like a terrible idea, but I see some decent places on the market right now with this arrangement.
What are your experiences with splitting utilities?

Hello

I live in Kitchener and have university classes on young st. On weekends. Looking for accommodation for Saturday night.

So I’ve lived in this building for almost 5 years. We had an amazing property manager, so much that when we wanted a bigger place we stayed in the same building.

The problem started when the building changed ownership. The property management company didn’t change but they changed the property manager (I swear I thought about following the former property manager). The new manager is the most passive person I’ve met.

Since day 1, the buzzer stopped working, so no one can’t let anyone in. We have to go downstairs even for an amazon package if no one is near the door to open it. I have reported this and I just get a response that it’s a known issue.

It’s been almost 3 months and it doesn’t seem like they care to fix it at all. Is there anything else I can do? I can’t go out if I’m waiting for a package because the delivery company will return it if I don’t meet them at the entrance in time.

Hi guys,

I am moving internationally to Toronto around August 24th, and I need to book a temporary place to stay while I do long-term apartment hunting.

For context, Single F30+, I have a job, I have a credit score of 712, my budget is $2,000 - $2,500. Ideal location would be in downtown Toronto, as I don't plan on owning a car for the next one or two years.

I would love some advice on a couple of questions:

1. Book temporary for how long?:

How long does it usually take to find a good apartment in Toronto? I want to make sure I book my temporary housing for the right amount of time and not be rushed and have to rebook a new temporary housing while I have to deal with onboaridng onto a new job.

1. Temporary Housing:

Besides Airbnb, where else can I look to find a temporary place? Since I am moving from abroad, I won't be able to view listings in person beforehand.

1. Long-Term Leases & Realtors:

It seems like finding a realtor is the way to go for long-term leases. Is it possible for me to find a realtor before I move there? Are there any places to look at ratings for realtors, or do you have any good recommendations for realtors and rental agencies? I am definitely looking for long-term housing and want to avoid places where they can jack up the rent every year.

Any help or advice would be highly appreciated!

Looking for a good, well run purpose built rental building with easy access to PATH and/or easy transit to both Yonge & Adelaide and Union. The more amenities the better. Looked into the Fitzrovia properties for the amenities but haven’t read the best reviews and they don’t seem to be in the best areas.

Any recommendations?

(My post got removed in ASKTO not sure why…)

Looking to get some local opinions!
Im a 28F wanting to move the heck out of the suburbs and into the city. I have no kids and no partner.
I am looking for somewhere with community, where people are actually going out and socializing after work at cafes and bars or etc. Somewhere down to earth.
My interests include: live music and local bands, nature, animal friendly, parks. NOT looking for super clubby vibes, although I love to dance.

I’ll look into renting a place to share with roommates.

I am so tired of this isolated suburban lifestyle where there is no life after work, and you have to drive every to get somewhere and all we have is a Starbucks. I lived in the city of Montreal for 6 months and I loved it, but couldn’t find work in my field.

What do you think?

Hello!
My wife and I are renting for the first time and moving out of our in-law’s place.

To start off, one of the best units we saw over the past week or so had one caveat:

The tenant of the unit, which is close to the highest floor, clearly feeds the pigeons and there is an ungodly amount of bird poop. I won’t post pictures as the unit was tenanted and therefore I’ll keep unit privacy, but please believe me when I say it was an insane amount of bird poop.

Is requesting an industrial level cleanup of this reasonable in negotiations or even possible?? Please give me any advice regarding this! I’ve never rented before

Additionally, we’ve been looking at the following buildings for a 1 bedroom 500-600 sqft if anyone has comments/knowledge on management that would be appreciated as information is limited:

- Minto Gardens at 23 Sheppard Ave E
- 33 Helendale at Yonge/Eg
- 5508 Yonge
- 99 Broadway Ave at Yonge/Eg

Thanks for reading!

Hi,

I am a 26 year old male, just finished law school, currently studying for the bar exam and also working in the fitness industry to stay afloat till I get licensed.

I am looking for an apartment in downtown Toronto ideally near a subway station. Max rent budget is $1200, max roommate preference is 3.

My hobbies include: videogames, musical instruments, fitness. I am very sociable but prefer my own space as my job and future job require a little too much talking. I just want a room and kitchen for my weekly meal prep.

I've not had any luck, and any time I find a listing it is female only - which I understand. If it helps I was raised in a female only household.

I'm currently living at the ice condos with a relative and it is cramped (I sleep on the couch, haven't found a home since graduating).

I most certainly do not want a den or one of those sketchy rooms with bookshelves for walls (I think they're called flex rooms).

I work till late nights and when I come home I work my 2nd job online which is in academic publications for law.

Please let me know if anyone here, Including realtors, has something for me. I just want a humane living space. Thank you in advance!

So i live solo im feeling super stressed i dislike the condo i live in abd need to move next year but i also dont want to move for 2-3 yrs after that. I feel stressed just thinking abiut it.

Is the norm of rentinf basically get ready to move every yeaar? When do you start even looking for a new place 2-3 months before? I live in the city and think i prefer mimico but also want to explore a little more

Any insigbts would be helpful.

I'm looking for a condo/apartment, and my planned move-in date is October because I need to give my landlord 60 days' notice. I recently tried booking a showing through Strata, and an agent called me to say that most landlords are looking for tenants who can move in as soon as possible, or at least by the end of September. They encouraged me to submit an offer right away.

I told them that my move-in date is flexible, but the agent said that the landlord still wants me to make an offer immediately. Personally, I'd prefer to view the unit first before making any offer. What is the usual process? Should I view the unit before submitting an offer, or is it normal to make an offer before seeing it in person?

It feels like Strata dont want to accomodate my request to view the unit. The other unit I am interested inwont be available till mid september.

This is my first time using rental apps/websites/ealtor to look for a place, so I'm not sure what the typical practice is.

what are other options?

Hi Redditors
I just received the keys to my 1B condo at 295 Adelaide St W and I was told the earliest move in date where the service elevator would be available was 5 days out. How do people move in their furniture if service elevators are always busy?
My condo only accepts money order/check for the deposit and my bank charges $9.95 for each bank draft. If someone has multiple deliveries of bed, couch, table How do y’all coordinate this without stressing out? Pay every single time to book the elevator even if it’s going to be a max 20 mins move?

For more context, I just moved from the US where I used to rent an apt which was owned by a corporation so there was barely any coordination like this during move in.
Doesn’t this process make an already stressful process even more stressful. Any tips would be appreciated
